Looks good brumal. Could you tell me the code for the progressbars on the tracks?

To anyone using an SCP setup: How the heck do you navigate a large library? I've got a pretty bares-bones, ugly setup right now, but it was the only way I could fathom to get the functionality I needed...

Current: untitled1mi3.th.jpg

foo_uie_albumlist together with quicksearch is useable for that purpose

Brumal -

With both of your configs I can't seem to get the Artist, Misc, Genre, etc... Playlist column things to fill in. It changes the font color and all so I have to playlist titles right. The playlists are empty, and I DO have all the components (updated them like 3 times yesterday...)

Any idea what's wrong?

They don't "fill in". Playlist switcher doesn't do anything automatically. You have to create the playlists yourself.

is there a way to have panelsui resize the images to fit your window? i looked on the wiki but could not see anything, i have been playing with brumals treeline (hope you don't mind) to try and get used to how the component works and i have it working nice at fullscreen but in a smaller window its look and behaviour is just odd.

you want to set the Width and Height fields in $imageabs() or $imageabs2() to some expressions that use %_width% and %_height% respectively.

Things like that don't need to be explicitly list on the wiki do they? :p

I've been searching and searching like mad... and tons of posts with seeming good info have outdated links. Could one of you awesome dudes hook me up with a nice set of links for add-ons I need to customize my Foobar2000 the way you guys have.. or maybe even all out user friendly instructions? The screenshot here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=43077 the first post's screenshot is pretty sweet looking. Anyone think they can help me with getting mine to look like that? The forums there said I had to wait 5 days for approval because my email account is gmail... lame.

PLEASE HELP... my brain hurts.

Thanks in advance

A lot of the "looks" of that Foobar have to do with the visual style that guy was using and the code for his columnsUI playlist.

It would appear the only 3rd party components he's using are foo_ui_columns, foo_uie_trackinfo_mod and foo_uie_albumart.

(you can find those here )

And basically it would take more time than it's worth to replicate his columnsUI code.

If you're looking for quick results, you might try going through the config distribution thread, first.

Well... I spent forever following the directions and downloading 50 different things to get "STUART60611'S CONFIGURATION". Anyway after all that work, I've got a something that looks nothing like what he has displayed. Why are all of the instructions for doing this so half assed? "(.dll files to be copied to the components folder in the foobar root directory):" some of those downloads are not just .dlls some were pictures and some are folders with things like foo_uie_tabs.vcproj and "H File"s. And the attached files have all sorts of crazy **** in them. Is there any SIMPLE or WELL EXPLAINED way to get my foobar2000 to look half way decent! Please?!

That was the most aggravating waste of time ever!

lol shaky I'm far from computer illiterate. I got everything extracted fine... but not all the files were .dlls. There is a source, slc, and foo_title (Which has all image files and some sort of "Skin" file) folder. Do i just put those folders in the compoents folder? There is also an installation file for "Mini Lyrics" where do I install this to? One of the attachments installs foobar2000ver9... no real explanation on this one either, was I supposed to install it to the foobar2000 program folder? I'm looking for something that explains these types of things without having to spend hours searching around.

Thanks Viper, yeah, that was the first thing I did. It doesn't work I get an error when I load foobar and it looks like total crap. What the hell is the installation file that is supposed to be his .cfg file? Where do I put a .cfg file? Uggh... is there a link to a basic simple skin that may help me get some of this info?

Foo_title is definitely on the list of components he says to download... any answers to any of my questions maybe?

:argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:

Hi, I'm back with my foo_title component. This component shows a small window with some track info and buttons so that you can have your main foobar window minimized. Something like Winamp's windowshade mode.

So, no, like I said you probably don't need it. But ignore me if you wish. I don't have to help you.

-----------------------------------------------------

The .cfg file replaces your current one in your profile folder. and where that is depends on whether you have user profiles enabled or not.

Press Winkey+R, the run dialog should come up.

put %appdata%\Foobar2000 in there and press enter.

put his .cfg in there.

If you get an error, then you don't have profiles enabled and the .cfg goes in you installation directory.

If you haven't installed the .cfg then you've effectively done nothing to change the way it looks.

No, foobar has no skins :pinch:

Oh... yeah of course I don't "NEED" it. I don't NEED to skin the player at all but I sure would like to. Not trying to be a dick man, just a bit aggrivated. I started over from scratch and got closer this time.

I got this error this time:

Failed to load DLL: foo_menu_addons.dll

Reason: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Failed to load DLL: foo_uie_lyrics.dll

Reason: Multiple instances of DLL with the same file name found.

Failed to load DLL: foo_uie_lyrics.dll

Reason: Multiple instances of DLL with the same file name found.

Funny thing is I don't see 2 copys of lyrics.dll

btw I'm trying to get STUART60611'S CONFIGURATION: to work.

heres what I get:
