Dude! font that used in config don't support any encoding except english :)

So if you want to see Japanese/Chinese/Korean characters just change fonts in config manually ;)

Excuse me, but how am I supposed to do that? before I installed dawxxx666's skin, I could do it at "default user interface" but once I had the skin, this option appears as blocked, alas, I can't modify it.

Could anyone tell me what to do instead? I don't know much about foobar.

Thanks.

Can someone help, I'm a noob at this game and just can't get my code right for track info panel.

Currently it is:

// PerSecond

$align(center,top)$font(calibri,15,bold,255-255-255)

ffffff%playback_time% - %length%$char(10)

//PerTrack

$align(left,bottom)$font(calibri,10,uppercase,255-255-255)

D7B997Title: ffffff%title%$char(10)

D7B997Artist: F3EAE0%artist%$char(10)

D7B997Album: F3EAE0%album%$char(10)

This is working ok, as can be seen in screenshot, but how do I add padding to the bottom section?? I tried $pad(x,y) but I think I have the syntax wrong or something?? Please help?

Of cause!

Just go into Foo2k Preferences->Panels UI->Edit Layout->Globals (button at the right bottom of window :) )

You'll see something like this:

$ifgreater($getpvar(MyFont),0,
//hooge 05_53
	$puts(fontAVA,[b]Trebuchet MS[/b])
	$puts(fontAVAsize,8)
	$puts(fontAVAsize_2,8)
	$puts(fontAVAsize_3,8)
	$puts(fontAVAsize_4,8)
,
// Swis721 Cn BT D-Type
	$puts(fontAVA,[b]Tahoma[/b])
	$puts(fontAVAsize,8)
	$puts(fontAVAsize_2,8)
	$puts(fontAVAsize_3,7)
	$puts(fontAVAsize_4,8)
)
$if($fontexists([b]Tahoma[/b]),
// hooge 05_53
	$puts(fontrating,[b]Tahoma[/b])
,
	$puts(fontrating,[b]Tahoma[/b])
)
$if($fontexists(),
// HandelGotD
	$puts(fontlyrics,[b]Tahoma[/b])
,
// Swis721 Cn BT D-Type
	$puts(fontlyrics,[b]Tahoma[/b])
)

Just change font-names that I marked and you'll get custom foobar :)

Hi, dawxxx666

I love your config. It's great :) been using it for a while. and there is something i want to ask.

I used 1.0.3+ with PUI 14.12b, I found that if i hover my mouse over some button (hide,exit,miniplayer,search,next&previous playlist, maybe another) CPU usage will jump up to 50% for a few seconds. it's happen even from fresh install & unmoded. at first i thought it's normal but i never seen something like this happen with any another config before.

So i tried version 1.0.3 and it doesn't happen. So i thought maybe there is a problem with 1.0.3+. can you (or someone else) check it out?

Thank you so much!!! it worked, I can finally use it properly :woot:

Feature Request:

I have a suggestion for further improving that fantastic skin:

The arrow in the middle of the main window opens/closes the playlist.

It would be great to have such a button at the left edge of the main screen

to open the albumlist at the left of the albumart:

albumlist:albumart:playlist

Besides that a nearly perfect skin!!!

Winamp has gone from my hdd now...

OK, after a bit of experiment i finally found that Channel spectrum with Transparent background "on" cause this CPU spike.

After some modding by draw Channel spectrum in the left track display panel (the one that show album art) and use "Fast pseudo-tranparent mode" instead of at main layout. (Which you can't use "Fast pseudo-tranparent mode" in Channel spectrum because it will cause glitch display.) and problem is gone. my cpu usage is reduced, and it's look exactly just like real transparent mode.

Now, I am happy. Thanks for the great config dawxxx666 :)

Hello, I have modded FooAvA a bit to get that clear glass effect on Vista. I just have one small problem:

I have a small square hole on each individual cover art on the right playlist panel which I have been unable to fix, attached is a screenshot of what I am talking about.

@JJJ

Here is what you need to do to properly display your album art:

Right click on the album art portion of the playlist, go to settings, make sure you are in Group Display:

	$drawrect(1,8,37,37,brushcolor-null pencolor-180-180-180) 
	$imageabs2(33,33,,,,,3,10,images\fooAVA\art5.png,nokeepaspect)
	$imageabs2(33,33,,,,,3,10,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.gif),NOKEEPASPECT)
	$imageabs2(33,33,,,,,3,10,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.png),NOKEEPASPECT)
	$imageabs2(33,33,,,,,3,10,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.jpg),NOKEEPASPECT)
	$imageabs2(33,33,,,,,3,10,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.bmp),NOKEEPASPECT)
	$imageabs2(33,33,,,,,3,10,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*cover*.*),NOKEEPASPECT)
	$imageabs2(33,33,,,,,3,10,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*folder*.*),NOKEEPASPECT) 
	$imageabs2(34,34,,,,,3,10,images\fooAVA\artoverlay.png,)
	$puts(xoffset,40)

Replace the current chunk with that, it adds .bmp support and also adds the additional search for cover/folder images.

First of all, try to to get rid of all blur effects, e.g.:

$font($get(fontAVA),9,glow-20-20-20glowexpand-0 glowalpha-100,255-255-255)

change it to:

$font($get(fontAVA),9,,255-255-255)

How about updates? :unsure:

I'm quite busy now :( Maybe in January 2008...

I just started using foobar yesterday, and I love it already. It's very nice aesthetically, and simple to use.

I noticed that if you use the new foobar beta release with the components provided for fooava 1.03, you'll get very weird, and mixed, results. If anyone is having problems with this, it's probably because they didn't EXACTLY follow the tutorial. Good job to everyone who's help with this, with a massive thank you to David.

Someone using the newer 1.03+ build, could you please post a picture of your components folder? I think I'm missing something, but I'm not entirely sure.

what font is used for fontAVA?

It's Swis721 Cn BT D-Type

Make sure that you have latest version of those files :)

The scroll bar along the right side looks incredibly out of place. It wasn't an issue until I started adding more tracks, but I haven't gone back through the forum for the solution. Also, some of the fonts seem like they're crowded together.

components.jpg

I guess I have some catching up to do...

After some searching, I found these two sites that have a good deal of components available for download:

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...:Components_0.9

http://www.fooblog2000.com/components

Are there any other sites that have a large amount of components available for download?

I still cannot find the following components that dawxxx666 has in his component folder (some were "available" but the links were dead):

Dolby Headphone Wrapper 1.1 (foo_dsp_dolbyhp)

Channel Spectrum panel 0.10.1 (foo_uie_vis_channel_spectrum)

Playlists Dropdown 0.6 alpha 4 (foo_uie_playlists_dropdown) <-- up to alpha 6, but links are all dead

File Operations 2.0 (foo_fileops)

Please let me know where I can find these. I'm almost willing to invest in a file server or making a torrent for all of these.

This is a great site where you can find here latest components before someone post them on hygrogenaudio.org ;)

Thanks, I managed to everything but File Operations (foo_fileops v2.0). Oh well, I guess...

I just started using this 2 days ago. VS? Visual settings? Also, I don't know how to manually turn on ClearType. I'll spend some time digging through threads... :|

Thanks for all your help. It's really awesome that you spend the time helping people with this. Rarely does some one who's invested the time writing the code take the time to help out others when there's problems.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
