Help :(

unknown function? :\

Also where is it that i put the album art paths?

Ok it looks like i only get that when transparency is ON. Weird...

I can't get the rating stars to work though? They're right below the times ?

Those unknown function are probably due to a wrong version ob panelsui. I installed one of the 0.14 betas and got those messages too. I downgraded to 0.13.8 and it works fine again.

nvm it worked. Had a problem with the pui being reverted to default after downgrading but i just had to reinstall the Ava pui. It works now, thanks!

I just need to figure out how to edit album art paths, since i save album art in a different folder to avoid problems with singles.

Wow, really great work dawxxx666! Thank you very much!

I have a simple question: If I minimize foobar with Panels_UI in tray, it will not show the currently played track...

Can I change this? Is it possible?

[Nimchip]

I figured out the rest of my problems but can't figure out this one...

WSH_Panel crashes when closing foobar. I searched the Hydrogenaudio forums and found this:

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=514231

Hi, I had the same problems with crashes on exit (Panels_UI 0.14/0.13 with WSH_Panel 0.7.1/2 for volume and seek bars).

I found a solution from another post here which adds two lines at the beginning of Panels_UI code:

CODE

// PerTrack
$panel(PreventWSHCrash,Track Display,0,0,0,0,)

// Background
... your code

// PerTrack
... your code

// PerSecond
... your code

I don't understand why it works, and it seems to be very sensitive and not completely reproducable.

So if it works for you - don't touch it again...

But I don't know where to add that specifically since there is no //PerTrack in the config? Anyone know? (and also for those having problems

fixed it. :)

(adding the line anywhere in the layout code worked for me)

Hi Nimchip!

thanks for bringing this solution. it also worked for me... great! :)

[Draconian Guppy]

Haha. Thanks mate but I don't spend my whole free time playing around on PanelsUI, I know a lot of better .PUI makers.

I want to make xp users happy without glass effect so I've decided to change design a little. :) As you can see, I've finally added rating system.

Looking for comments/suggestions...

This color and having the control buttons all the way down, make it look/feel like realplayer :x however the dark ones with the rightpanel enabled are (Y)(Y)

however, I like it a lot! :D

Couple of questions:

1. Does anyone have a link to Panels_UI 0.13.6? The new beta crashes every 4 minutes or so and 0.13.8 just turns into default.

2. How do I get the ratings and playcount to show up? It always overlaps the track length for some reason.

Eitherway, awesome skin man. Looking forward to the next update.

You got a great taste of music :D

Thanks

Vista version will be included too ?

Of course, in options or in separate PUI file

Wow, really great work dawxxx666! Thank you very much!

Not now. You can find this problem in 'PanelsUI todo list':

It's due to 0.14.2. When you install that beta, you can't get back to older versions. Only way to get this work is reinstall foobar, then copy 0.13.8 files to components - it may solve your second problem too

I made new playlist using Br3tt's ideas and I need your opinions. I also made last.fm button (wiki and youtube in feature requests)

Takes away too much space.

It's already grouped by artist / album...

[dawxxx666]

So maybe with rating stars instead of artist:

Which one is better?

Agreed.

I suggest that you just add another panel that pops up when you click at the cover art 3x (1 click is for back cover, 2x for artist) that displays tons of track info kinda like FofR's panel. You can dump the Last.fm/Wikipedia icon links there, playcount, as well as in-depth info courtesy of the "discogs" plug-in.

But if it can't be avoided, playcount would be much better if it's displayed like in this screenie instead of crammed superscripts beside each track:

BTW: Thanks, got it working now!

[Punio4]

Playcount is much better, since it lowers the text cutoff by the rating column width.

However, I believe that this sort of setup should be optional, I rather dislike the entire concept with having 2 rows for a single entry.

i like the ideas from both honestly.. i really like the artist name under the title because various artists albums that only show title really bother me..lol But in the above image i really like the stars and lastplayed as well.. it's looking really good th0ough.

[dawxxx666]

1 vote for, 2 against. You win, old playlist will be an option too

[Punio4]

But honesty, for this to be a far better config, you need to implement a playlist switcher/album list in a pane.

Takes way too much time to browse the "standard" way, via playlists and a standalone library window.

[Myssynen]

I uptated dawxxx666s ava version 1 to 1.3 and i made my foobar look like more macish :)

But i want rating "stars" to look like stars, but i'm not so good with the foobar code... can someone help me? I also like to customize that background, witch has little album image and album name etc. but i didn't find the way.

[Rebus]

Plz remember to add the ramdom track button :)

[Stargazer666]

A shuffle albums button would be appreciated! :)

Looking fantastic so far, really looking forward to it!

[SMELTN]

dear lord. It is killing me wanting to try the new version

[Draconian Guppy]

Well, play count doesn't mean it's the best rated one? I would say go with user rating!

[Maju]

thx for your answer! The coming skin looks awesome, when will you release it approximately? :)

You're right. Maybe in this way:
