Columns UI appearance

Reply #475
the starting point in Kameleon is to draw the background image (wallpaper, cover or artist photo) then i place an elplaylist panel in the panel stack splitter (the main one that contain the bg image) with pseudo-transparency turned on (right-click on elp -> settings ...)

so, first : create a new columnsUI layout, add a splitter to be the base-panel (a panel stack splitter = the main container)
then add under it (in CUI panel tree viewport) all other panel, especially those whci support transparency like elplaylist as said above.

then, you have to code the display of the bg image, using titleformat script in the settings of the main PSS (Right-click on the PSS -> Splitter Settings ... -> 'Per Track' section)
2 functions available to display images : $imageabs(...) or $drawimage(...) => see the text file that come with the panel stack splitter dll for the syntax).

after, all is imagination and titleformatting to manipulate panels, images, buttons, variables ... etc

HTH.

bye


Thanks for your quick reply. Although it still looks a bit complicated for me, I will try and do some experimenting.

My very basic configuration. Would like to use PSS as well, but still have to learn and read about it.

I've been a Default UI user for a long time now since it became a lot easier to use and was more customizable. But then you don't have too many UI elements to play with yet so I went back to Columns UI and boy was that nice.



I'm still working on the EL Playlist configuration. I don't seem to find any English documentation on the syntax to use.



As you can see I made a drawing application in WSH Panel which is one of the best components out here now. It does not use title formatting syntax but JavaScript which makes it so much more powerful and also a lot easier to use (JavaScript is a real script language, title formatting is not).
If you want the JavaScript code grab it here.

Again if anyone wants to teach me how EL Playlist works or lead me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.

Thank you!

The fonts are:
Square721 BT for title, album and artist on the top and for the tabs
Segoe UI for the playlist items
Arial Unicode MS for everything else

PS: I'm sorry i dont know if Square 721 is freeware...it was delivered by any program on my PC.

"MINE", this is the _most_ important thing imo. No matter how customizable a theme is, it will never fill your needs exactly : )

Could you please share your theme? I'd like to steal some things : d

edit: I really like the simplicity you got there, no flashy crap

I recreated my Columns UI layout from scratch this week and made some updates. The layout is simple but offers great usability and designed to look native on Windows.

Album view:



Single files view:



You can get the fcl file of this layout on this link.

Great work Peld!
Tried importing it though and the buttons (Start,Stop,Skip etc) are missing. It can't load the images. Tried moving the png's elsewhere and pointing to the new directory but still no luck..
Everything else seems to work fine!
Any ideas?

I dont really know why this issue occurs but i uploaded the FCB files of the three button panels for you.
Maybe it works when you import them in the properties of your button panels (see screenshot)

http://peld.pe.ohost.de/foobar_stuff/buttons/
controls.fcb - the controls on the top (start, stop...)
rating_top.fcb - the other buttons right from the controls (rating etc.)
rating_bottom - the buttons in the left bottom corner
Also you can find all the PNG files in the gfx folder.

will share it when i'll have more time...

when i'm on vista and use Segoe UI font, $char(9733) shows a star. when i use Segoe UI on xp, i get an odd squared symbol with a question mark inside. is there a way to display stars from Segoe UI font on xp like on vista?

Did you try to just use the symbols themselves instead of using $char(xx)?

??

Copy and paste!

no, it doesn't work. all i get is this:



maybe the segoe ui font i've got is not complete. or it can't be done with my charset (but on vista it works with the same charset).
have you got xp?

+ i don't even see the star on the character map. does anyone see it on their character map?

the only workaround i've found so far is to use wingdings font, but the spacing between the stars much bigger than on segoe ui and it doesn't look as good.

You can't use Segoe UI on XP to display stars.
Segoe UI hasn't these characters in its charmap, similar to Tahoma on XP it ony "leans" the characters from other fonts on vista since it is the standard font.
To get stars on vista and xp you should try with Tahoma (although there may be problems displaying the stars on vista...) or Arial Unicode MS.
Many east-asian fonts have this chars too.
Since you use ELPlaylist the best solution would be to use images for the stars.

i ended up using wingdings in my config... it's not so bad after all!


@lokioki & acedriver:
