arrow icon in a column in Columns UI view

Hi,


I'd like to display the stock "playing" arrow that shows up in the "Playing" column in foobar2000 default view... only in a custom column in the Columns UI view. It's the only cool component remaining from the default view that I can't seem to put into a Columns UI view.

I've been scouring Google looking for the right magic words to make this happen... and the best I can do is get text that says "PLAYING" or "PAUSED" when the song is either playing or paused.

How would I get/display those icons (playing/paused) instead?

Thanks



Chad

Not possible since Columns UI doesn't support (non-coverart) images in its columns. Your closest bet is ELPlaylist which requires ColumnsUI, but it's more complex to set up.

If you have access to Arial Unicode or a similar font, you could use an arrowlike character from there. Otherwise, yeah, ELPlaylist is going to be your best bet.

One way to do this in foo_ui_columns, is to make a new column with code like this:
Code: [Select]
$if(%isplaying%,$rgb(255,255,255,255,255,255)►$rgb(),
$if(%ispaused%,$rgb(255,255,255,255,255,255)█$rgb(),)
)

I haven't gotten the %ispaused% to work, though, but it's part of the titleformatting reference.

i can't tell, but if his bg is white, your code will disappear:

$if(%isplaying%,>)
$if(%ispaused%,||)

edit:
and yes if you use arial unicode, it can look much better

it's not working because you need some minor modification in you script... you must use %ispaused% as first switch for $if() function and then %isplaying%.

try this:
Code: [Select]
$if(%ispaused%,$rgb(255,255,255,255,255,255)?$rgb(),
$if(%isplaying%,$rgb(255,255,255,255,255,255)?$rgb(),))
