Been working on the cover display of this for the last hour or so, going with the whole "cd cases for albums newer than 1981" thing that i've seen around..

a mod of a mod, grabbed black luna element config from the luna element discussion thread, and have just been tweaking it myself :)

It's because of all the grouping checks, you can just strip out all of the code that checks how the playlist is grouped, and it will work fine.

edit, replace all of your group code with the following

this will make the group headers always %album%

$alignabs(10,5,$sub(%_width%,10),100,left,top)
$font($getpvar(userFont),20,bold,240-240-240)

%album%

$alignabs(15,22,$sub(%_width%,5),25,left,top)
$font($getpvar(userFont),$add($getpvar(userFontSize),1),bold,255-128-0)

%album%


	$alignabs($sub(%_width%,$calcwidth(%date%),40),21,$calcwidth(%date%),25,right,top)
	$font($getpvar(userFont),$getpvar(userFontSize),,)[%date%]

	$alignabs($sub(%_width%,$calcwidth(%genre%),40),4,$calcwidth(%genre%),25,right,top)
	[%genre%]

	$if($fileexists($get(coverPath)),
		$imageabs2(27,27,0,0,0,0,$sub(%_width%,33),7,$get(coverPath),NOKEEPASPECT)
		$imageabs2(31,30,0,0,0,0,$sub(%_width%,35),5,$getpvar(Image.Path)border.png,)
	,
		$imageabs2(27,27,0,0,0,0,$sub(%_width%,33),7,$getpvar(Image.Path)nocover.png,)
	)

// If it's the fist line then don't show top line, else show.
$ifequal(%list_index%,1,,
	$drawrect(0,1,%_width%,1,pencolor-0-0-0 brushcolor-null ALPHA-25)
)

// Bottom line.
$drawrect(0,38,%_width%,1,pencolor-0-0-0 brushcolor-null ALPHA-25)

oh, also.. you will have to change the orange (255-128-0) to the blue that the normal LE foobar uses..

Can someone explain to me how to get it to show the numerical list for all the song I have in the playlist. Please e-mail me at [email protected] I really would like this figured out and I'm not good at these things. I want it next to the Tracklist colum thank you and please help me.

It's Royale Vista II with my little modifications:)

Might not have been clear enough, I'm talking about the top titlebar, and not (I think) the "fake" titlebar in the foobar config ;)

The upper one doesn't look very much like the VS in the link you posted ;D

is there a way to display the length (time) of the active playlist?

You could use cwb_hooks to do so.

It provides variables that contains the playlist's totals:

# %cwb_activelist% - active playlist name

# %cwb_activelist_count% - number of items in the active list

# %cwb_activelist_duration% - seconds

# %cwb_playinglist% - playing playlist name

# %cwb_playinglist_count% - number of items in the playing list

# %cwb_playinglist_duration% - seconds

You could use cwb_hooks to do so.

It provides variables that contains the playlist's totals:

# %cwb_activelist% - active playlist name

# %cwb_activelist_count% - number of items in the active list

# %cwb_activelist_duration% - seconds

# %cwb_playinglist% - playing playlist name

# %cwb_playinglist_count% - number of items in the playing list

# %cwb_playinglist_duration% - seconds

oooh good call, forgot about cwb_hooks, this was right on the money for what i wanted: $cwb_hms(%cwb_activelist_duration%)

I just got vista and installed foobar2000, can I have the config? it looks amazing.

Yeah, sure :)

Extract the images to \foobar2000\images\ and put the pui file into \foobar2000\PanelsUI\

Hope this works... the image paths are, hum, messed up a bit, don't know why ^^

Plugins needed:

Album List Panel

Playcont (official)

Panels UI (obviously :rolleyes: )

Oh, I also fixed the funky looking text when an item was selected :) see below.

Enjoy!

edit: Perhaps you also have to edit the buttons if they don't show up (right-click on their approximate position). And you have to revert the colors in te album ist panel config (black background - white fonts)!

Mine showed up kinda strange, any idea of what I did wrong? and it won't let me into the preferences to change anything because there's no buttons.

Ok, you have to adjust the album list panel (edit colors, see previous post - deactivate horizontal scrollbar - activate vista theming)

And for the buttons; you can edit them by right clicking --> customise... on their position. Look at my screenshot to see where they are ;)

^Normally, there's a button to access the preferences, but CTRL+P is good as well ;)

Oh, and you should activate grouping in the playlist: Right click on playlist --> Sort / Group by...

edit: And just figured that out myself... everything looks horrible with the standard aero colour scheme! Better use graphite or blue... :)

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
    • Hello mysterious lamborghiniv10, I was in Australia and... now I'm in the Netherlands. 
    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
