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?

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
