[HT2791]

hey guys, i think im finally gettin into this foobar skining business ;D

but i've got some odd thing,

can someone tell me how to fix the black spaces that are showing up?

oviously, there must be something wrong with song info?

cud it be becuase of the songs/albums themselves?

i've properly tagged them..

[ooomph]

almost there:

fonts used: only GE Inspira, i don't know if i'm allowed to distribute it.

config: 0.9 default, almost nothing extra, yo don't need my fcs :p

16x16 tango buttons

Hello Fellow Foobar Friends :happy:

I'm looking to make my own toolbar buttons to use with columns_ui but I don't know how to make it. :(

Are there any specific guidelines I need to follow? I have been looking at a lot of toolbar images that I have, and all of them vary in sizes (heigh,width).

So, if you could help me and tell me how do I go about in making one? Perhaps a psd template a could start with?

Thanks :)

No, you haven't. You must give those songs a tracknumber, then it should work

Does anyone have code to show the filename if the ID3 tag isn't present? That is separated Artist - Track. I've made my own code but I think there must be a more efficient way to do this. :huh:

CODE FOR ARTIST:
$if(%artist%,%artist%,
$cut(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%, -)))

CODE FOR TITLE:
$if(%title%,%title%,
$substr($substr(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%,-),$len(%_filename%)),3,$len(%_filename%)))

$substr($substr(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%,-),$len(%_filename%)),3,$len(%_filename%)))

For starters you can use the $if2 function

$if2(%artist%, $cut(%_filename%,$strstr(%_filename%, -)))

I'll look at it in more detail later.

In the preference for the album art, you can choose the location(s) where the album art is looked for.

I know that this is the place where i should go to modify the search target for the album art but i dont know how to modify it....Instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks for yr effort...:)

the button is posted here

the change it, go to preferences > column ui > other tab > select use custom buttons and bitmap includes mouseover images

Bro u made my day...thanks alot it works now just fine just these album art keeps irritating me.Btw there is another question actually.Is there any feature that forces the foobar to look over the net for the album art if it was not any album art existing in the directory file?

Thanks guy for the help.

This is probably the place to look if you want to write a script to point to your album art, or anythng else for that matter.

Sadly the albumart plugin doesn't look over the web - maybe you could put forward the idea to the developer who can probably be found on the hydrogenaudio forums.

As a workaround you can set the playlist background to white - if that doesn't work you'll need to find the part of the config thats giving problems.

Do you have the "artist" or "album artist" tags defined?

this is what my code for album art, each full album has a file name folder.jpg in each folder. for singles, I placed them in a folder named covers

$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_directoryname%'\'%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg
-E:\Covers\$replace(%artist% - $if2(%album%,%title%),:,_,?,_,/,_,.,_).jpg
-E:\Covers\%_filename%.jpg
-components\default.png

gah i am so stupid.

i did tag the songs and everything, just not the right tag version

:pinch:

just had to open up Mp3tag and options > write APEv2 and just replay them in Foobar and voila

sorry to waste you time guys ;D

[acedriver]

if you want to use id3v2 tag, you need id3v2 tag support plugin

Slight mod of TheUndead's config. :)

Mind sharing that config? The one that was uploaded earlier isn't really the one I'm looking for. =/

[miscellanea]

0.9 RC was released, and also columns UI 0.1.3 pa17v2.

Would anyone know how I can get foobar to open a new playlist when playing mp3s outside of foobar (like when playing from explorer)?

[Homerz]

Can someone tell me how you change the title bar, maybe i'm just slow, but i can't find how :/

It doesn't change with the theme, and i tried several that comes with a bar...

I'm talking about the bar that says like Foobar and stuff, on the top :/

And how can i get that bar on the left that shows the album cover? :)

I can just get mine in the top panel...
