No, if you have Segoe UI installed in your c:\windows\fonts folder, then it should be selectable in the list. Strange...
So you'll be forced to use Tahoma instead.

If its not selectable then it isn't displayed at all in the configuration.
The default font of your windows visual style is then used instead (i think at least...).

Bizarro...... It is installed.  And it is displaying on the config beautifully.

When I look at the Font settings in Foobar, it shows it as the font, but when I try to change the size of the font by selecting "Custom" it is not in the list.  Weird.

Also, in every panel where it is the Font, the Settings Font page states they are all "8pt", when clearly they are of varying sizes.

Is there a place in the "code" that dictates font size?  Or is it only in the "Pref>UI Columns>Fonts/Colors" that i can change font size.

Thanks again Tedgo, truly amazing support!

Font sizes are coded in the ELPlaylists and WSH Panels scripts. And in the Biography Panels Preferences itself.
All other font sizes are selectable in Columns UI--> Colours and Fonts.

how did you solve it? mine is still problematic even i closed the foobar... maybe i'll try reinstall Foobar2k.

Nevermind problem has been solved. I forgot to run as administrator. Thanks tedgo!

you can always extract the files from the installer and copy them across manually. 7-zip opens it just fine. (i daresay other zip programs will too)

DarkOne

Yes, you're right
If there are any problems with it - and the only problem was that you've forgotten to run the self-extracting archive as administrator  - you could also extract it to any non-protected place and copy the files to your foobar2000 directory manually.
Running it as administrator is necessary because it copies files to your vista/seven-protected "Program files" folder.
And installs the font file that is needed for the display.

....and the thin buttonbar then (you'll find its settings in the Script --> PerTrack in the // ----- BUTTONBAR BACKGROUND section and in the // ----- BUTTONS section)...


Tedgo,  I have successfully moved the playlist, Elplaylist, and Bigcovers, up on the page.

But I have having trouble with the code in "buttons background" and "buttons"

I am not sure what values to change.  Could you please point me in the right direction? By the way, I am shooting for a height on 10 on the bar.

Thanks again Tedgo!!!!!!!!!

...... and how do i make the playlist and elplaylists taller now that I have moved them upwards?  Now there is a gap at the bottom.

learning......  slowly.

Since i assume you have already made a new top setting, you need to substract its value from the pss height.
So if you have made them "top" at 50, type-in:
height: $sub(%ps_height%,60)
(10 points more for having some space at the bottom)

Hey Tedgo,

first of all, i love your Theme many thanks for it !!!

I have a few questions (I'm new @foobar2000)

1) If it possible to sort the Songs of an Album by ID3-Tag Tracknumber?
Actually its sort by Trackname.

2) The Buttons "Lossless", "Audio MD5" an "Replay Gain" on the left
are allways unuseable. Just "Lossy" is activated.

WHich effect the buttons usually have?

3) The scrolling through the Albums at the
middle is very difficult. Any hint to get an Scrollbar?

4) The Notesymbol-Button "Actiave now Playing" has no function?
I Think that isn't normal?


Thanks and best regards!

1.) Right-click in the playlist --> Settings --> Grouping tab --> enter in "Sort format":
%album artist% - %date% - %album% - %discnumber% - %tracknumber% - %title%

2.) That are no buttons, just indicators of existing information of a playing track

3.) Right-click in the playlist --> Settings --> Style tab --> enable the scrollbar (at the bottom of the page)

4.) It works only if a song is playing, of course.
Then it will bring the playing track to focus, if it isn't already

EDIT:
Removed a useless string part

Thanks for the fast Answer!

Point 1 isn't Work

Settings->Grouping

Group Format:
$if(%album%,%album artist%|%album%|%discnumber%,%directoryname%)

Sort Format:
%album artist% - %date% - %album% - %discnumber% - %tracknumber% - %title%


Sadly it's still sort by Trackname
Any idea?

Go to Preferences --> General tab and add your sort format in "Sort incoming files by" too
All new playlists will be sorted this way now.

For all existing playlists you may have to "enable" your sort format:
Go to Settings --> Behaviour tab --> enable "Show" for "Context Menu" (at the bottom of the page) --> Sort".
Now you can right-click in your playlist and sort after your new sort format

Tedgo,

Sorry for having to bring to you my troubles.....  You have already done so much.

Can you please help a little more with the toolbar settings, where I must modify the script for "buttons background" and "buttons"?

I am exactly sure what I am doing there.

Thanks again Tedgo!

I don't really understand what you want to do now...
The toolbar is the standard toolbar, not scripted.
The background of the toolbar can't be changed within a script but depends only on your windows visual style.

DarkOne

Tedgo,

Sorry for the confusion...  I meant to say "button bar" not "toolbar".

I have easily removed the visualization as you directed.
Then was able to move up the playlist/Cover/elplaylist so there isnt a gap above them.

But now the thin buttonbar with the "Pref" Button, and the layout choice buttons, is my problem.  I cannot see how to move them.

You say above:  "....and the thin buttonbar then (you'll find its settings in the Script --> PerTrack in the // ----- BUTTONBAR BACKGROUND section and in the // ----- BUTTONS section)..."

The button bar is what I am having trouble with.  How do I edit the script to move the bar and buttons up?

thanks again.

Sorry if I am being dense here.

You have $gradientrect and $imageabs functions in BUTTON-BACKGROUND.
There's a "82" in each line.
This "82" you have to change to your new "top" value (for instance "10").

Then in the BUTTONS section you have to change the "82" in the PREF-Button to the same value and the "88" in the other buttons to the same value +6 (if you changed the value from 82 to 10, you have to change 88 to 16).

Tedgo,

ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!

Many thanks for the help.  I m learning!

I will get to this the minute I get home from work.  I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks again for all of your hard work, tireless effort, and amazing support.

I hope it isn't overly offensive that a few of us are tweaking your config slightly.  It is truly amazing as is.  But if easily modified to a small degree it makes it absolutely God-like.

Cheers,

Don't worry about that. See my config as a "base" to modify

Hey tedgo,
First of all id like to thank you for this amazing theme!
This theme is probably 60% of the reason i finally changed over to foobar (only a few weeks ago). I tried foobar a few years ago, but never got into it as it was way to complex to configure... Now that i got it all set up i cant believe i have been using winamp/itunes all this time.


I have some questions regarding the theme...
1. is there any way to search or to sort all music based on star ratings? my whole music library is synced with foobar but sometimes i want to just find the 4 star songs that ive rated and i cant find a way to do so unless i go and find the actual song in the album. Is there any way to rate the song from album view? or is the only way to change the rating is from the top left of the song description?

2. regarding album art, is there anyway to automatically DL art into the folders instead of having to DL them one by one?

3. When i set a artist picture, is there any way to have his picture show up on every album? because currently it only displays the artist art on the album which ive downloaded it too, and not on their other cds

also when i start foobar i get these messages, what should i do?
The following components are incompatible with this foobar2000 version and will function partially or incorrectly:
- foo_cwb_hooks.dll : cwbowron's title format hooks, Tagger Panel Window
- foo_uie_powerpanels.dll : Seek Panel, Volume Panel
Please update these components to their latest versions if possible.

Failed to load DLL: foo_uie_queuemanager.dll
Reason: This component is not compatible with this version of Windows and needs to be recompiled with a newer version of the foobar2000 SDK; please contact the author of this component to obtain an updated version of this component.



other than that this theme rocks, so many little things that make music sorting/listening a blast!

Great theme!  I'm really enjoying it!

I've got a couple of small issues I was hoping someone would be able to help with:

1. Album art works fine except when I hover over a song in the playlist.  When I do so the popup with track info shows no album art.  Is there a way to fix this?

2. Tracks are not ordered by track number for each album.  Is there a way to fix this without renaming all my files?  Trying fiddling around with the sort info for ELPlaylist but didn't seem to do anything.  Any ideas?

@Ev!l-aLphA
1.) Best way is to create autoplaylists for your ratings.
Toolbar --> Library --> Search --> type-in %rating% IS 1 --> hit the "..." button --> "Create Autoplaylist".
Now you have a playlist with a tracks having 1 star.
Repeat the procedure for 2-5 stars and you'll have 5 autoplaylists that automatically change their content if you change ratings.

Changing rating depends on the kind of rating you want to have:
For ratings in the database you could also right-click on the file (or a selected bunch of files) --> Playback Statistics --> Rating.
For ratings in the file tags you could select a bunch of files --> right-click --> Properties --> double-click on a blank line --> Set "Field name" to RATING and "Field Value" to your desired rating (1-5).
Or use the optional Masstagger and add some presets for ratings.

Sorting after rating values:
Toolbar --> Edit --> Sort --> Sort by... --> %rating% --> OK

2.) Please search for AlbumArtDownloader and foo_run. There are some threads about this

3.) Don't store your artist pictures in the album folder but in an own "Artist pictures" folder, for instance D:\Artist Pictures.
Now you could change the path in the scripts (as described in the user guide) to D:\Artist Pictures\%artist%.*
You'll have to rename the artist pictures to the name of the artist, though...
For instance: The artist picture belongs to Britney Spears has to be named Britney Spears!

Your problem with incompatible plugins:
Delete them!
You don't need foo_cwb_hooks and foo_powerpanels for DarkOne (or any other actual configuration).
They're outdated and no longer supported by foobar2000!

For foo_uie_queuemanager you may need to update it, or just delete it. Its not necessary for DarkOne, too.

@srturner47
1.) Read the user guide, chapter 2.8.3.1

2.) Thats caused by not properly named your files (the files don't have a tracknumber at the beginning of their names).
Would be easier to rename them with the "File Operations".
Or you have to change the Sort format in ELPlaylist (and maybe on the General tab at the Preferences) to:
%album artist% - %date% - %album% - %tracknumber% - %title%

Hello,

Thanks Tedgo for another version meantime I'm fully satisfied with the 1.5.2 build!

However, I'm dithering over whether to update mine or not,  I'm substiantially interested in the memory and CPU cousmptions, have they improved much? Did the removal of the compact mode make things run more smoothly? I mean, sometimes the 1.5.2 keeps increasing the memory usage without reasons and I wondered how it was with the new version. (anyhow as soon as you minimize the 1.5.2, the memory is halved)

Many thanks,
Dakeryas
