Right click on toolbar and uncheck Toolbars -> Menu.

Buttons Toolbar is powerful as it is, and I am eagerly waiting for implementation of "customisable bitmaps for different button states" (from Request List).

Another thing (not mentioned on Request List) which would be very useful for such minimalistic layouts, would be the command to show/hide certain layout elements. You could then assign it to a button and toggle panels. That would be very handy and powerful.

No it isn't, you can make an ugly workaround, but that isn't the same as a "real" menu.

@musicmusic, could you add special toolbar button that would display main menu items in popup menu.
Well OK. But what about an alternative, like something that shows itself when you press the Alt/F10 key?

I think you are just using a particular broken version. Are you/can you use the latest version?

I think the general idea here is something that doesn't take up much space but can still be operated using just the mouse - I'm using a similar thingamabob in Firefox, where the whole menu bar is condensed into a single button in the upper left corner of the window, just to the left of the URL bar et al...
np: 4'33"

Columns UI 0.3.8.0's DLL is dated 30.08.2009, though if you overwrote an older DLL you might want to check it's modification date and/or Preferences > Components in foobar...

I would like to hide the main menu for maximizing the available room to the advantage of other elements. A new button for accessing the menu would reduce this so created space a little bit.

So for me your idea with Alt/F10 would be the best possible implementation in this context.

Furthermore I control foobar2000 nearly exclusively with keyboard shortcuts and I don't like using the mouse.
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

hide the main toolbars. then have a vertical splitter as the root element in your layout. add the the menu toolbar as the first item set to hidden + autohide on the columns UI layout tab. hover your mouse for just a second under the title bar and it appears until you move your mouse away again.

but as you mentioned, a keyboard modifier for this would also be nice.

sorry if this has already been asked for....

i have a feature request for the CUI filters. would it possible for them to remember the previous selections when foobar is restarted?


Saw this request earlier in the thread, and would like to reiterate that it's a really good idea

That did the trick, I was not on the latest greatest.  Not sure how that happened :-(

Got a question about the playlist switcher..

Is there any way to space out the name of the playlist and the length?

Example..

Indie [100 / 6:00]

How can i put a space between them?

I guess $tab() is what you're looking for.

Columns UI

Yea tried that but in the titleformat its just %title%, Its isnt 2 commands for the title and numbers. =/

Columns UI

Reply #5518 –
Yes, it is two commands. At least for me it is. Are you sure you have "Use titleformatting for playlist title in panel" checked?

Alt/F10 toggle is an alternative, but unlike Robertina, I operate foobar2000 mainly by mouse, so the button would be more useful for me.
Besides, what exactly would show itself on Alt/F10?
1). Standard menu? That's an option, but it was rejected
2). The whole toolbar? Then it's not very useful - I'd like to have some components on toolbar displayed permamently.
3). Single toolbar item, like "Menu"? Layout element? Then, it is far better to implement commands that would toggle single toolbar/layout elements (similar to those that activate whole layouts now). That would be great. You could then assign those commands to buttons OR keyboard shortcuts - and everyone would be happy :]

Anyway, thank you for considering this idea.

Having the menu-shown when ALT is pressed, just like Windows Live products wouldn't be a bad idea I think...

That's the way I did interprete musicmusic's ALT/F10-remark and it would be the best implementation for me  , but as mixcherry said, I love to use the keyboard and for mouse users there may be other solutions more suitable.

musicmusic,
can menu items be added for groupings?

i.e. Menu subitem in "View > Layout" with tick-able mark: √ (so one can select which grouping(s) he wants or none):

[font= "Tahoma"]+ View
  + Layout
    + Grouping
      + Disable Grouping
      + Grouping #1
      + Grouping #2
      ... (depending on how many grouping scripts are present)
[/font]
This way it can be possible also to assign buttons if one wants

or slightly limited approach with Groupings entry in context menu on NG playlist column titles?

Feature request -- showing current track context menu as a submenu in Artwork and Item Details panel... For the moment when we have in layout only those components there is no way to access context menu.
