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.

http://foobar2000.xrea.jp/index.php

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

It's up to you and your VS what scrollbar will look like. About the fonts: you have to manually turn on ClearType or wait for new version of my foo

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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
