Can someone go step by step with me on this particular config?

I can't figure out for the life of me where the config scripts are supposed to be pasted into. I would really appreciate it.

for some reason the settings window for my track_info doesn't have a checkbox for update every second

EDIT: nevermind that, i guess the version of track info i am using is newer than yours. refer to this http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...od)#Redraw_type

moglenstar, would you feel like giving us all a nice Christmas present and sharing that? ;)

[moglenstar]

the layout is like:

		   |-- Horizontal Splitter (locked)
				   |-- Seekbar

code for trackinfo:

//----------------button background overlay

just chuck the "btn" folder into your "images" folder, and you should be set to go!

@BBMartini

You know, this is probably some kind of silly mistake, but i cannot get the 2 artworks for the top and bottom track info's to show, along with some of the images in the single column playlist.

In any case, is there any alternative to $imageabs(,,images\royale_test.png,)

Edit: Also, the trackinfo itself does not seem to want to update every second

[IceBrewedBeer]

Let me first say thank you very much bbmartini for taking time to explain it to a noob like me.

I, unfortunately have 3 problems

1. As you can see from the picture I do not have the Group(Artist/Album) column properly working.

2. The highlight within the Single Columns display doesn't seem to be working.

3. The 2nd Track info mod isn't displaying correctly.

I posted some pictures, not sure what kind of help they will provide.

You probably dont have the PNG libraries :)

Uncompress them into your foobar root folder (C:\Program Files\Foobar2000 i assume)

pnglibraries.zip

[IceBrewedBeer]

I really wish that fixed the problem. =(

I extracted them into the install directory (you assumed correctly) and still nothing.

You sure? i checked the code of bbmartin and it should be fine, images points correctly, you got the files where they're supposed to be, etc

Wait, i made a mistake when zipping...

You should have the DLL's inside pnglibraries in your root folder, not the folder pnglibraries, my mystake :p

[IceBrewedBeer]

Yeah I quickly fixed that, but still no go. Maybe I should try a fresh install of Foobar2k and start from scratch. I'll do that tonight and see if that works.

[Dom]

Disabled user profile support? (i think that gotta be disabled...)

[Ran Sagy]

bbmartini, Might you have larger versions of the cd-case and overlay images?

[Knaarfje]

Disabled user profile support? (i think that gotta be disabled...)

yep.. that did the trick, lol

thanks!

[Xantheus]

Nice Dom that worked for me too, although i lost all the configs i made :(

Lol, no problem.

Yeah, but they're on

C:\Document and Settings\Username\Application Data\foobar2000

Copy contents in that folder into your C:\Progam Files\foobar2000 to restore your old config :)

[Xantheus]

There we go, mostly done now. All ive got left to do is ask BB for that lovely bottom trackinfo. ACtually the whole thing looks bloody good.

something a bit different

~shnippp~

[moloko]

I am looking to separate my singles to my albums. would it work best if I make a new tag...say a "comment" tag that says "single" and have code to pull that into a different list or different look than the albums?

What code can I use for this and where does it go?

For the new people using Foobar this has gone really far in the last year and improvements from the community are amazing.

[IceBrewedBeer]

Ok I FINALLY got bbmartini's config to work. I pretty much had to reinstall and start from scratch. No problem.

One question though, any chance of having the playback order in the right menu or something. I don't want it on the UI as it looks very unattractive. Any ideas?

Put an autohide menu, that way when you need it, you hover it, it appears, you make the changes you need, move over the mouse, and it'll dissapear, i do that :)
