Is it possible to have foobar buttons with a transparent background, or a layot completely transparent with Columns UI in win XP?

You can have the whole foobar transparent, go to preferences and click on columns UL at the left, then click the 'Main' tab and tick the 'use transparency, opacity' and pick a number between 0 - 255, the lower the number, the more transparent it is.

Just use the PanelsUI component and then, via code, use a columnsUI playlist. That's what I'm doing.

^ I'm afraid that's not possible... Terrestrial (developer of Panels UI) stated in the foobar forum:

I was testing out some new features in vista over the weekend and came up with this to use the "glass" effect. It's basically a trackinfo_mod panel with the ability to host other panels.

This should work on Windows 2000, and XP as well, but without the glass effects (but there are other advantages like being able to show/hide/resize panels through titleformatting).

Sorry :)

Just a quick question. I was wondering if it were possible to implement an interchangable panel. Like a button switches between an Album Cover Art and switches to Album List when pressed. There must be something like this in foo_info_mod plug in. I was just wondering how I would be able to implement the code for the button.

Thanks.

Just post the question here and I'm sure someone will be nice enough to help.

I have but no ones tried to help... my question is "Anyone know how to add item numbering? I'd like to know how many songs are in each section. And when Iclick all music, I'd like to know how much I have total. Thank you."

Well, for each album you would have to use something like %tracknumber%, though for the whole list you would most likely use %list_index% (I believe the variable is)

Alright cool. I have had the track numbers so where do I put the %list_index% into the program?

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By sphbecker · Posted

      It depends on how technical of an answer you want. Does it stop manufacture drivers? Yes, the universal driver is the only thing that interfaces with the printer hardware. However, print support apps (PSAs) are the new way to provide that functionality you speak of, and they integrate directly into the print dialog box, so the user doesn't see any difference at all. This is nothing new...this has been the preferred way to do print drivers for almost 8 years! The only thing changing here is that the older printer model drivers of the past are being deprecated. I highly suspect that you yourself have installed a print support app described as a driver package from the manufacture's support page, had it work exactly as expected, without realizing it was using the universal IPP driver under the covers. For example, USB keyboards have all used the generic HID driver for just about as long as they have existed, but that doesn't stop manufacture "drivers" from enabling more features.

      Wow..... 1.8GB of RAM usage. That's just a bit more than MS Teams or VS Code uses.

      Manufacturers will be able to ship printer-specific functions through their support apps (their companion software, in other words). But no, drivers won't be needed from them anymore, only the universal one included with Windows. Think about this as printers all agreeing to a stardandized API for common functions, all talking the same language and supporting the most common functionality via that API, so only a single driver is needed to talk to them. Any additional functionality not handled by that driver will be provided by the companion software for the printer.
