Foobar2000 Customization Topic

[eliazu]

Here's what ive come up with, by using a settings file found here and doing a little modifying:

for 'albums' playlist:

for other playlists:

hope you like  :ninja:

p.s. does anyone know a page with all the commands/variables you can use in foobar? cheers

sure...

status bar:

// set color for progress bar
$puts(col_progbar_symb1,B56A33)
$puts(col_progbar_symb2,000000)

// set variables
$puts(spacer_symb,' ')
$puts(spacer_width,2)
$puts(progbar_symb1,'●')
$puts(progbar_symb2,'●')
$puts(progbar_length,16)

// add colors and formatting
$puts(spacer,$repeat($get(spacer_symb),$get(spacer_width)))
$puts(progbar_symb1,$get(col_progbar_symb1)$get(progbar_symb1))
$puts(progbar_symb2,$get(col_progbar_symb2)$get(progbar_symb2))

// progress bar (checking total because of streaming)
$puts(progress_bar,
$if(%_time_total_seconds%,
$get(spacer)$get(spacer)
$progress2(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,%_time_total_seconds%,$get(progbar_length),$get(progbar_symb1),$get(progbar_symb2))
)
)

'? ? '$codec()
[' ? ? ? '%__bitrate%kbps][ %__extrainfo% ][' ? ? ? '%__samplerate%Hz]' '
$channels()' ? ?'


$tab()$get(progress_bar)' ? '

track info (i have it set to focus on playing mode, might work strange on follow cursor):

$if(%_time_elapsed%,

$char(1)CffffffTrack Info
$char(10)
$char(10)
Artist: 999999$if2(%artist%,'Unknown Artist')
$char(10)
Title: 999999$if2(%title%,'Unknown Title')
$char(10)
Album: 999999$if2(%album%,'Unknown Album')[ 888888'['$num(%tracknumber%,1)']']
$char(10)
Release Date: 999999$if2(%date%,'Unknown Release Date')
$char(10)
$char(10)
$char(10)
$char(1)Cffffff%_time_elapsed% / %_time_total%
,
$char(10)
$char(10)
$char(10)
$char(1)CffffffNO
$char(10)
$char(10)
$char(1)CffffffTRACK
$char(10)
$char(10)
$char(1)CffffffPLAYING
)

not sure if the status bar one will work properly for you though because it was with the settings i im:pinch:.. :pinch:

[MMman]

I wonder why somebody could put the sidebar anywhere?

Thanks for those buttons fxmer, using em aswell.

anyone found a way to use vis_bacon slightly better ? as in on top in foobar, but not in windows ?

[fgimian]

:huh: Wowee you guys are doing some lovely work here. I use winamp at the moment and would love to move to foobar2000 permanently since it is the only player that has actual brains. I would love to make my player look like the pic iv attached. The thing is I have no idea how to do 2 things...

- Display coverart and album list in the way done in the pic

- Get the title, menu and status bars to change from the default colours.

Would it be a lotta trouble to give a simply guide as to how to get a setup similar to the posted pic.

You guys all rock

Merry Christmas :D

I don't think that's every single one, but it's close enough.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put a top and bottom frame around the currently playing track.

In ColumnsUI > Globals > Color, I have defined the frames but they only show up on the currently playing track when i have another track selected. can anyone help?

585158681[/snapback]

Um. I don't have frames on my now-playing thing, but i copied my colours from another thing that i did have frames on and it worked fine.

In the 'Globals' tab i have 'Use global variables for display' checked (that's all). Then in the 'Variables' tab on that i have something like:

// default text

text=000000|000000

// default background

background=F2FAFA|E0EDEE

// currently playing track/title background

now_playing=CEE0D4|E0EDEE|E0EDEE|D7E8EB|000000|D7E8EB|D7E8EB

Then in the 'Colour' tab for the title column in the 'Columns' tab, i have like:

$if(%_isplaying%,%_text%|%_now_playing%,%_text%|%_background%)

[lav-chan]

- Display coverart and album list in the way done in the pic

585164317[/snapback]

Firstly you need Columns UI (which comes with the installer, so that shouldn't be a big deal). Then you need foo_uie_albumart (for the album art) and foo_uie_tabs (for the tabs). The album list panel comes with Columns UI, but the tabs don't.

- Get the title, menu and status bars to change from the default colours.

585164317[/snapback]

You can't change the title and menu colours, as far as i know. (Unless you're talking about visual styles, but i doubt it...?) With the status bar it's just using regular colour codes like you would anywhere else in foobar. (For example, FFFFFFhello is how you would make it say 'hello' in white.)

Nice layouts guys. I used to use iTunes, but no longer. Got tired of being forced to do things Apple's way. I love foobar. Now if we can get g-force in a panel, there will be much rejoicing. One music player to rule them all. Here's my config.

yea, i found those just wondered if there were anymore.

thanks anyway (Y)

[fgimian]

Thanks a lot lav. I have got all the addition tabs now and its all looking lovely. I have noticed a few people with very fancy title bars and status bars. I assume these come from some theme used in WindowBlinds or StyleXP as I can't find a way to add images to title, menu or status bars to make them appear different from default. I guess its time for me to meet with Mr Style XP again.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the help guys. Keep up the gr8 work!

Fots :D

Good job!! :blink:

2 questions:

How did you get more than 1 tabbed panel stack?

How did you get the toolbars across the top instead of down the side?

[acedriver]

press Shift to add another panel stack

[fgimian]

I've just spent about 4 hours going through all 76 pages and I think I finally know most of what there is to know about customizing foobar.. So i though i'd post my screenshot. Still a little work to do although it's definately perfectly useable. Just a note, I hardly use playlists, I always just use one playlist and delete and add from it using the album list so that's why I didn't bother with the playlist tab.

Winamp is official uninstalled, i love foobar2000 :D

How was it done ....

Windows Theme: Windows 2005 MCE Default Theme

Colour Scheme: Erik

Now Playing: Got it from one of the posts and modified it a little.

Buttons: Found on one of the posts. Best buttons I've seen so far.

Thanks to everyone for their awesome work that has allowed me to make my foobar look sexy.

Cheers

1. As just mentioned, hold <SHIFT> down while adding another stacked panel.

2. Preferences > Columns UI > Other > List all toolbars must be checked. Then right click by the file menu and you'll see a Layout option to add Tabbed panel stack.

Can anyone tell me what the barebones code is to make an artist appear only once ala Azrael or this config?

I've tryed to extract the string from some configs but usually the code is so massive that it makes my head spin :wacko: I know there's some awesome code-kiddie here that can explain it to me :D

Something to the effect of :

$if($stricmp($num(%tracknumber,2),01),%artist%,)

would show the artist if the tracknumber was 1, and be blank for all others. Nested $if's will allow for album on track 2, etc.

Thanks a lot. :happy: I wondered what that option did but I never bothered to test it out.

Thanks guys, it worked like a charm!
