Foobar2000 Customization Topic

[moglenstar]

Thanks for the links guys ill check them out later ;) Cheers

Edit: Moglenstar I'm reading your guide but how and where do I add the images for the foobar theme? I'm confused :p

now extract this file to wherever your foobar2000.cfg file resides. if you selected "enable per-user settings" during install, then this will be "%appadata%\foobar2000\". if you didn't select "enable per-user settings" during install, this will be wherever you installed foobar to, by default this is "%programfiles%\foobar2000\".

so you should either have (if you didn't select "enable per-user settings")

c:\program files\foobar2000\mog.fm

or (if you did select "enable per-user settings")

c:\documents and settings\<yourname>\application data\foobar2000\mog.fm

then when you add the code for the single_column_playlist, and trackinfo_mod, the images should all show up fine :)

Ditto. I spent a good 2 hours with it last night, and you're right, progress is slow, but you definitely have to put the time in. It seems like a lot of the customization lies in the code, so I need to learn what all those tags and such mean. I've been looking at checkboxes, etc for customization. Now I think I'm headed in the right direction!

Thanks guys!

updated my foo a little bit. though I don't like how the playlist looks.

and a question. how can I change the length column on a playing song, so that it would show "- remaining time"?

[MediaSoldier]

I think i'm getting somewhere but here's what I have now with em3's config:

I'm wondering how do I seperate the songs into albums its so annoying..and i dont think the config I have is right compared to em3's

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Just turn all of the hearders of for the panels etc and reassign the divider images.

As for the album sorting, you'll have to add a group config on your own cause it's not pressent in the config from em3 :)

Hi everyone

I have a question of my setting

here is my code of album cover

$imageabs2(360,300,40,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,1)),,%_height%,,,C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components\cd_case\cd.png,)

$imageabs2(360,300,,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,1)),,%_height%,,,C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components\cd_case\case.png,)

$imageabs2(265,222,,,,,10,38,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,cover.*),)

$imageabs2(360,300,,,,,,,C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components\cd_case\gloss.png,alpha-160)

the image is too wide

how do I make it auto-resize with image width?

what code should i add?

Thank you everybody :)

Give this a try..

$if(%isplaying%,%_time_remaining%,%length%)

"Also when you install foobar, untick ‘Enable Per User Settings’. It makes it a lot easier and is what my code is written around."

it was in the first post back about 10 pages.

FYI,

if your config used $imageabs2() with the new / relative paths for everything, all your images (and buttons) could go in the installation directory regardless of the state of "Per user settings"

[MMman]

Excuse me

I have a new question

If there is no cover in an album directory how do I direct to default cover image in foobar directory?

here is my code:

$imageabs2(222,222,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,5)),,%_height%,33,37,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,cover.*),nokeepaspect)

Thanks for helping :)

That might work, altought im not sure

Just so you know, the only way I could get foobar2000 working properly in Vista was to enable that setting.

[martskre]

Is the seekbar in BBMartini's config supposed to work? Mine isn't though I followed all the instructions I came over in this thread and doublechecked that my components were up to date. Any ideas?

[edit] I finally got it to update its information per second but I'm not able to seek (by clicking the seekbar). :(

No one can seek it, i think theres a code being developed to seek it but only by intervals of 10 secs, but as for now, they are un-seekable

Under the trackinfo where you have the Seekbar, put a normal Seekbar in the layout, and make it autohide, that way you just hover that part, and itll pop up and you can seek :)

If you take ownership of the foobar2000 directory, you should have no problems..

takeown /f c:\program files\foobar2000

[moglenstar]

Blast, missed the edit time-window..

anyhow, been working on a new gilouche themed foobar since returning to windows xp, from vista..

single_column_playlist code is mostly bbmartini's playlist, just tweaked a little to match, i'll probably make something to replace that later..

Trackinfo_mod, is based off of my wmp code from vista, all buttons function

i don't intend on releasing this just yet :)

[Ran Sagy]

I like. Two thumbs up, moglenstar :p

[Bunio]

Nice setup moglenstar.

I like this buttons. :)

[Dom]

Why back from vista? didnt like it?

Although it's already been suggested that you just layer images, you could also use the $fileexists() function.

$puts(cover,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,cover.*)
$imageabs2(222,222,,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,5)),,%_height%,33,37,
	$if($fileexists($get(cover)),$get(cover),/path/to/nocover.jpg)
,nokeepaspect)

Thank you :) It works. I'm using it :p

I like "IF" code :)
