Foobar2000 Customization Topic

[serect]

Your foobar looks great!!! But quick Q, how did you get the lyrics showing on the desktop? I'm kinda new to this. Is it like a widget?

i use dockable_panels..

you can get it from http://wiki.bowron.us/index.php/Foobar2000:Dock

Not much but it gets the job done, if anyone is interested I packed the entire Foobar folder (self executing) and uploaded it here http://rapidshare.com/files/7149382/Scotts...obar02.zip.html

A hack-job of bbmartini's and a few others. Still need some more buttons, but I can't be arsed. I have enough to at least play music at the moment. :p

I choked on my coffee when I saw this. That is one sweet design you got there, Shannon.

here's mine. I try to keep it as minimal as possible but often I fail miserably. I'm totally in love with the colors of the Tempura VS so I tried to match my Foobar pretty close.

Parts of the scheme are Spex & the tab switching is inspired by smarterchild.

A simple "Now Playing" screen

Single Column Playlist

Album List (pretty sparse as this is my work machine)

Lyrics Panel (I'm still playing with this)

And here is one of the SCP with the Playlist dropdown & tab switch buttons on the bottom (they pop up on mouse over on every tab panel)

All comments welcome.

Having your playlist dropdown and tabbed panel buttons appear on mouse over is incredible! care to explain how it can be done?

Here's what my layout looks like.

The "Horizontal Splitter" that houses the dropdown and switcher is set like so:

Thanks man! Got it working well.

well here is my current work in progress:

[Infil]

How do I configure the buttons to switch between the tabs?

[lassekongo83]

Modified this one.

Can't post the trackinfo config until I've made my own buttons, the ones I'm currently using are called Smoke.

I like the look of it. Mind to share the codes?

[sdb815]

My new one, it's simple but functional. :)

How do I configure the buttons to switch between the tabs?

Under "Main Menu Items" in the Customize / Change button menu

Down on the bottom there are two commands:

View/Tabbed Panel Stack mod/Select tab/Panel #0 Cycle Backward

View/Tabbed Panel Stack mod/Select tab/Panel #0 Cycle Forward

[Michael1406]

This is my Azrael-based setup. It's always run full-screen.

Here. Config by Tool++, moded by me.

Those options aren't there :no: I'm using foobar2000 0.9.4 with foo_uie_tabs.dll 0.2.1. There was "src"-folder included in the archive I downloaded. I just copied it into foobar2000\compontents along with the .dll. Is that wrong?

The tabs work fine, but those button options just aren't where.

you need a newer version then. I'm using the foo_uie_tabs.dll v0.2.5...I'm not sure exactly where I managed to get my version from but I'm pretty sure it was either on the HA forum or google somewhere.

OK, I found where i got mine.

Thanks. Everything works now. Here's my new config. Quite an upgrade from the previous I think:

The rip-offs from lassekongo83 are apparent. Thanks for sharing! But I changed the glow colors of the buttons to match the yellow, green and red from HmmXP, and the trackinfo mod-background. The first thing I want to do is to create a nicer background for the trackinfo mod. The blue color is nice, but maybe something along the lines of Lexandher.

Got the buttons on bottom bar :)

It's been itching me for some time, but what are those two buttons in the track info on the left and right?

the one on the left opens the current tracks directory in explorer & the one on the right is the current track properties if i remember correctly.

Ok, I'm kinda stuck with the coverart.

$imageabs2(75,75,,,,,0,0,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)cover.jpg,)

Displays the cover.jpg IF it's in the same folder as your music, but I have my covers in D:\Music\[GML] Blue Link Emotion\Scans so how do I go about making it look for cover.jpg in the Scans folder?

[smarterchild]

Direct inspiration from Primie.uk this go round. I had a couple minutes of free time in between exams.

Its Primie.uk's single column playlist config, and the fcs is from theundead a long while back, with a slight color mod.

ive got the playlist dropdown menu/quicksearch toolbar as well as the menu,volume and playback order all hidden to show on mouseover, though in this last show theyre there just so you know they are.

the plus and minus buttons control the switching between setups.

again direct inspiration from Primie.uk

Anyone has some good images of either a CD Case or just a blank CD?

Some high-res PNG would do.
