Not sure what is causing Lyric Show not to work on 1.03+. Lyrics works when I switch to 1.03 but I get unknown functions in the Playlist panel.

I compared the configuration of both 1.03 and 1.03+ and under Edit Layout in 1.03, there is something called Lyrics [Lyric Show] while in 1.03+ there is Lyrics [Track Display]. I'm not sure if or how to change that to Lyrics [Lyric Show].

This sking is perfect for foobar. Thank you!

I have a few questions though:

How can I remove the "next song:" display?

There is another thing that is a bit annoying:

Let's say I have an cover image inside an album on C:\Program Files\Music\Artist\Album\cover.jpg. It will display perfectly. But, if I have a subfolder on Album like this: C:\Program Files\Music\Artist\Album\Bonus Disc, the cover that is only on ALBUM won't show on Bonus Disc cover panel. That makes me have to add the same cover on each subfolder I have.

Example: imagem.jpg

If I didn't have 2 covers (one on the ALBUM folder and other on the BONUS DISC subfolder) the cover wouldn't display

Thank you

I just found what caused my troubles with the unknown functions: I had the following in my user globals to set the taskbar entry to the current song:

$settitle($if($or(%ispaused%,$not(%isplaying%)),Stopped,%artist% - %title%) - Foobar2000)
$settray($if($or(%ispaused%,$not(%isplaying%)),Stopped,%artist% - %title%) - Foobar2000)

after commenting this out, foo ava and the other skins look fine again with panels_ui 0.14.

can someone please help me make bitrate (at the bottom of the player) be dynamic for VBR songs?

Just move

to "// PerSecond" section

How can I remove the "next song:" display?

Right click on "next song"-> Settings and remove this part of code:

$alignabs(,$add(%_width%,-13),%_width%,%_height%,center,top)
$font($get(fontAVA),6,glow-155-155-155 glowexpand-0 glowalpha-120,220-220-220)
$if(%isplaying%,
$ifequal($getpvar(language),1,Następny utwor:,Next song:) $font($get(fontAVA),6,$ifequal($getpvar(blue),1,glow-0-200-255 glowexpand-0 glowalpha-120,glow-255-50-50 glowexpand-0 glowalpha-120),250-250-250)[%cwb_next_title%]
)

I mean:

Right-click on a blank area of the Desktop and choose Properties.

Click on the Appearance tab; click effects.

Check the box: Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts.

In the drop down box select: Clear Type.

I had this same problem with the font. Choosing "Clear Type" does fix the font problem, but it makes the rest of the fonts on my computer seem too fuzzy for my taste.

I noticed that when I use version 1.03, it has no problems with that default font (with smoothing set to "standard" instead of "Clear Type", but 1.03+ does. Is there a way to fix without changing the smooth edges method?

Just move

Help please.

Potatoz, you must have deleted something on accident.

This is what I have under "// PerSecond"

Make sure you have those last couple of lines because that's where the track time is located.

And just to throw this out there again, for those who want to use Album Art Panel in Mini mode

You'll need to find this entry

$imageabs2(83,83,,,,,3,7,$getpvar(myCoverPath),NOKEEPASPECT)
$imageabs2(84,84,,,,,3,7,images\fooAVA\artoverlay.png,)

and replace it with this.. (use "//" to null the original code in case you want to switch back)

$panel(Album,Album Art,3,7,$sub(83),$sub(83),)
//$imageabs2(83,83,,,,,3,7,$getpvar(myCoverPath),NOKEEPASPECT)
//$imageabs2(84,84,,,,,3,7,images\fooAVA\artoverlay.png,)

note: you'll have to re-set your album art preferences for the minimode (rmb > preferences)

Album Art panel in mini-player mode is a really good idea, thanks stripedphantom, I'll include this option in new ver.

Changes, changes....

I made a playlist popup which can be quite useful in mini-player mode. Also, I fixed some bugs with playlist name alignment and made the informations on the cover art panel (artist, album) like hypertext ('Quicksearch for same album/artist' buttons). Thanks to exodus77 for suggestions.

Did you already release this version yet? Is it updated in the first thread?

stripedphantom thanks, but my seekbar has now disappeared. It still works but there's no blue line so it's impossible to navigate

Hrmm, I really dunno what you're doing wrong. You might have left out a parenthesis somewhere, maybe?

Double-check your config.

I need to remove it from the mini player as well. What do I delete D?

Kill this entry to get rid of the "next song" in mini mode

$alignabs(3,89,$eval(%_width% - $get(xoffset) - 5),14,left,middle)
$font($get(fontAVA),6,glow-155-155-155 glowexpand-0 glowalpha-120,220-220-220)

Also, for dynamic bitrate in MiniMode

Find and move this section:

$font(,$get(fontAVAsize),shadow uppercase,200-200-200) 
$alignabs($ifequal($getpvar(cdbox),1,$ifequal(%date%,?,$get(xoffset),$eval($get(xoffset)+6)),$get(xoffset)),45,$eval(%_width% - $get(xoffset) - 5),14,left,middle) 
[%codec% '-' ][%codec_profile%] [%bitrate% kb/s '-' ][%channels%]

and move it under "// PerSecond"

Thank you dawxxx666 for helping me out with the dynamic birate! BTW, new version looks KICKASS!!! I'd also love to see the glass Vista version when you have it ready. :)

Hmm, when I do that, the bitrate overlaps the album art and becomes unreadable.

    • 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.
