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.

Here's my config starting with "// codec"

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)
$if(%isplaying%,[$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%])

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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
