VS = visual style, like windows blinds skins, etc...

A pretty simple design that I started from scratch and tinkered with ever since:

Oh.

I use Microsoft's Zune theme.

By the look of it he's using the Zune theme. It's free from MS. First result: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=zune%20theme
It's official so you don't need to patch anything.

Hi

I'm woking on my own config but i still need to figure out a few things so i try to take a look at other configs to see what is achievable.

ZeeJay your config looks great, if you don't mind i really would like to know how you managed to get those gradients on the playlist grouping and if the left panel is a track info mod panel.
Would be great if you would share you config!
I really need some good track info mod configs to learn from...

This is my WIP:



Since i listen mostly to albums but also use CD/DVD, Internet streams and have a few spare tracks i tried to work on some sort of grouping that recognizes the tracks and groups them automatically by Album, CD/DVD, Single track or Internet Stream. There are still many things to improve...

Thanks a lot

Hey guys, there are some great foobars out there, nice work.

Over the past day I've been having a go at copying iTunes (just for the challenge really) as precisely as I can, and have so far come up with this:


All the buttons do roughly what they do in Apple iTunes, and it uses powerpanels for the seekbar and volume. There is also a spectrum on the track display if the little arrow button is clicked. It also uses Shpeck visualisations. I'm wondering how much more time I should spend on this...

The next step would be adding in cover flow (not too tough) and album display (maybe a bit more tricky).

Would be good to hear your comments!

I'm pretty happy with this latest attempt. I tried to strike a balance between function, simplicity, and aesthetics, and I, at least, think I succeeded.

I'm done with my config for the time being. Here is the final version for now, complete with quick search and a working, functional seekbar.

good work, have you resolve your pb of settings with WSH ?

will you share this config ?

I second that, your config looks great tgpo.

It was the weirdest thing. It all of a sudden started working. I can't explain it, but I'm happy with it.



Sure thing.

Before I do though, I'm going to make it a little easier to configure for other systems. That way the end user won't have to dig through code to change things.

Simple, with lots of info visible, controlled by Screen Sharing on OS X (and Ultra VNC on the XP machine). It works for me:

mine, always my Ibiza config : ColumnsUI + Panel Stack Splitter

here is the v1.4 preview :

Please. Share your config. It looks great.

Hi there!

I'm using foobar now for a while and began developing my first selfmade config for ColumnsUI with PanelStackSplitter/ELPlaylist now. Here's a first look:



It's a very very early version without many of the features I want to add to it - but it plays my music and looks somewhat decent already

Some things I want to add in the future:

- seek- /volumebar with WSH-Panel (and get rid of the menu)
- ratings
- Artwork and lyrics panel (nearly done)
- song info with links to wikipedia etc using foo_run
- some decent album art browser (maybe using GraphicalBrowser)
- some better looking buttons
- mini mode and fullscreen mode

I don't know, when it will be done. Well, maybe I'll share it, if you're interested!

PS: Many thanks to tgpo for the idea to show the album art as the background of playlist groups!

It just works so well there

finally upgraded from 0.8.3 and nearly got my original setup back the way it was... just need to figure out how to do custom buttons

for comparison... here's how 0.8.3 has looked for me since 2005 http://jim7.home.insightbb.com/foobar/foobar3.png

@necropimp: could you please post your statusbar config
and what font are you using for the columns?

thx

font is arial unicode 7pt

statusbar code

ahh the progress is just a character

and the font doesn't look that nice with activated Cleartype :/

thx anyway
chiwou

Hi all!

Here's my first own Columns UI apperance

Added a few things since my last post, and changed various things here and there due to it [the config] not looking exactly right when I moved back to XP from Vista...


@punkeye: I don't remember if I sent you my config or not (just moved, then summer came so my memory's all just a blur), so if I didn't just shoot me a PM and I'll send you a copy.

simple... how i like it!

heres what i have right now

for those of you who have playlists with the artist, album and date at the top, and then the song titles below, how do you deal with various-artist compilations?

I set the Album artist to Compilation. My display script will read this, and if it is Compilation it will display Various Artists in the header and will add the artist tag to beside the song.

i set %album artist% to 'various artists' and i test if %album artist% contains 'various', i display Various Artists in the Header before the album title and for each track, i display the artist name %artist% and the title.

decided 2 change the color

labou, are you using columnsui or scpl? if it's columnsui, what's your code for the album header? it looks great.

could be ELPlaylist too

Are you ~Crusoli on deviant art?

i pmed the guy, but does anyone else have this one?? it's ZOMG!!! great.

So, here is my config so far...
it's not final yet but for me there's not much left to do

foo_uie_tabs is always hidden, i'm using a remote control to control foobar


Track Display Tab




Lyric Display Tab




Playlist Control Tab

I got the basic things there now.. title, artist, date, album... but how can i have bitrate, play count,

http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/5479/wbcctbyp8.png

like this

I would also love to have artist, album etc. have different colors like on the image, and low bitrates have a different color than high bitrates

can someone help me?

send me that configuration would be cool too

Hi,

just playing again with Panel Stack Splitter and i have coded this ...



i like it, many ideas for it ... hum, i think it will be the base for a new config

Bye,

Please, someone tell me which playlist I need to have multiple lines of text in one row of the playlist,
and which also supports images, maybe also with the mirroring/glass effect.

for example like these
http://img120.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cucvi9.png
or http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs128&d=08240&am...titled_2790.png




but please, no .Net crap recommandations.
many thanks

This is my new config which replaced a PanelUI config I was using before. The buttons are taken from the buttons thread, the rest is new. You can also see foo_title made in .NET crap

ELPlaylist or Single Column Playlist (aka SCPL) allow this.

These 2 components have to be used with ColumnsUI interface.

many thanks, mate.

My setup
I don't like setups that are cluttered just give me a playlist and some album art

Hi all,

I'm new to foobar. Heard about it along time ago but knew I'd spend far too long setting up what it looks like so kept putting it off.

But I finally got sick of waiting for winamp to load and took the plunge (after stopping shortly with MusikCube in between)

Thanks to this forum I have it set up working with my DiNovo keyboard.

I also took this new start as a que to go get all the album art for my collection. (thank god for AlbumArtDownloaderXUI)


Anyway, I'll probably tweak it more, but I've spent AGES on it (the first half of it, not having a clue what I was doing) so this is it for now

Sorry for the late reply.
The left panel wasn't Track Info Mod, it was Track Info (from Panels UI), running on an old version of foobar2000. I updated my setup and naturally lost that panel, since I had to replace it with Track Info Mod.
But, those gradients on playlists are from ELPlaylist (great component BTW). I can provide the *elp file for simple importing, if you're interested.
Now, this is what I have in my foobar:


Still trying to build a good setup with Colums UI...

new design direction for kung-foo config --> see below :

Very cool and original. I like your layout a lot (though I tend to prefer thin borders)

I just recently finished my similarly simple theme with panel splitter. Extremely feature light.

It's simple, but efficient.
