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

dawxxx666, I did that I now track's time (above the seekbar) disappeared :(

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.

    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
