Two questions:

1) How to make the foobar head replace the EQ button?

2) How do I make my bitrate dynamically change for VBR?

1 right click on the eq button, settings, find (end of the config)

// Foo button
$ifequal($getpvar(showpanel),2,
,
$ifequal($getpvar(blue),1,
$button2(10,$sub(%_height%,57),0,0,20,21,
'$font($get(fontAVA),$get(fontAVAsize_2),,240-240-240) EQ ',
'$font($get(fontAVA),$get(fontAVAsize_2),glow-140-210-220 glowexpand-1 glowalpha-120,0-200-255) EQ ',Equalizer,TOOLTIP:Equalizer)
,
$button2(10,$sub(%_height%,57),0,0,20,21,
'$font($get(fontAVA),$get(fontAVAsize_2),,240-240-240) EQ ',
'$font($get(fontAVA),$get(fontAVAsize_2),glow-255-50-50 glowexpand-1 glowalpha-120,240-240-240) EQ ',Equalizer,TOOLTIP:Equalizer)))

and change it to:

// Foo button

$ifequal($getpvar(showpanel),2,
,
$button2(10,$sub(%_height%,57),0,0,16,16,
'$imageabs2(,,,,,,0,0,/images\pure3\f2k.png,)',
'$imageabs2(,,,,0,,0,0,/images\pure3\f2k_2.png,)',
Equalizer,TOOLTIP:Equalizer))

2

find in //PerSecond (end of the config)

$if(%__bitrate%,$get(spacer)%__bitrate%' kb/s',)

and change it to:

$if2($info(bitrate_dynamic)' Kbps',$info(bitrate)' Kbps')

This is weird. I downloaded version Foo AvA_DX6 1.02 when it was out. That worked fine. I modified it a little to my own tastes.

Today when i upgraded it to Foo AvA_DX6 1.02d. Everything is SLOW. lagging.

At first I just dropped the new files into place (as I usually do.)

Then I did a clean install in addition to the necessary components listed.

Still slow.

I don't think it's the new PanelsUI version, as the old version 1.02 works fine with it. Just not with version 1.02d.

ColumnsUI also works fine. I've even tried toggling the album art setting as mentioned before, still slow.

And some weird [unknown Function] in upper left.

Something in the pui settings is buggy for me. Anyone else? Any ideas?

Same here. My foobar gets messed up with the config also. Like I get the Unknown Function things and the double minimize, maximize and close buttons. Would love to know what's messing it up.

Thanks a lot for aiding to my laziness.

any tutorial on how to install this?

any help is appreciated

well, it depends on the depth of help you need. do you need help extracting files from an archive or... to what extent do you need help?

The main thing you have to do, really, is to extract files from ZIP files.

Do you have AIM or some other chat client? PM me, I will assist you when we have coinciding time.

Same here. My foobar gets messed up with the config also. Like I get the Unknown Function things and the double minimize, maximize and close buttons. Would love to know what's messing it up.

Unknown function relates to a missing component. For example, I didn't install "playlist dropdown" and it showed "unknown function" in the placeholder.

Make sure you have all the components.

where do i go to add %play_count% right before the ratings in the playlist?

Insert in item display:

$alignabs($sub(%_width%,55,$add($get(rating_w),)),3,$sub($get(rating_w),6),13,right,top)
$font($get(fontAVA),7,,$if(%_isplaying%,255-255-255,150-150-150))
%play_count% play$if($strcmp(%play_count%,1),,s)

Change in code:

$ifgreater(%_width%,[b]700[/b],
$button2($sub(%_width%,71),3,0,0,25,16,
'$imageabs2(,,,,0,,0,0,/images\pure3\bar\max1$ifequal($getpvar(buttons),1,,_).png,)',
'$imageabs2(,,,,0,,0,0,/images\pure3\bar\max$ifequal($getpvar(blue),1,2,3).png,)',
WINDOWSIZE:'[b]700[/b]':'[b]550[/b]':LEFT:TOP,TOOLTIP:"Change window size")
,
$button2($sub(%_width%,71),3,0,0,25,16,
'$imageabs2(,,,,0,,0,0,/images\pure3\bar\max1$ifequal($getpvar(buttons),1,,_).png,)',
'$imageabs2(,,,,0,,0,0,/images\pure3\bar\max$ifequal($getpvar(blue),1,2,3).png,)',
WINDOWSIZE:'900':'650':LEFT:TOP,TOOLTIP:"Change window size")
)

..double minimize, maximize and close buttons. Would love to know what's messing it up.

You'll need to check "Hide Titlebar" in the settings

Install PanelsUI 0.13.8 from http://panels.fooblog2000.com/

Now I have 0.13.8beta. It solved The "Unknown Function" problems, but Foobar still runs slow.

your component folder should look something like this *attached*

I have most of that (minus the 'single column playlist' and 'trackinfomod' as they're part of PanelsUI now,right?)

Foobar still slow for some odd reason..

Does that mean I'm missing something or have something in excess?

Everyone, thanks for your help thus far.

@ stripedphantom

Try to reinstall foobar2000 and download my config once again. Do you have UPDATED version of all components?

I have most of that (minus the 'single column playlist' and 'trackinfomod' as they're part of PanelsUI now,right?)

Right

Clean installed Foobar 0.9.4.3.

Dropped in Foo_ava dx6 1.02d.

Added updated necessary components listed in your Deviantart page.

Still slow for every action :(

Please check if I'm missing something important.

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
