How do i get the album art and project m visualizations above the playlist like the blue lines indicate and get the playlist to sit beneath it and stretch all the way across the window like the red box indicates.

Also, how do i get the panels on the left to be tabs?

This sucks...i used to use Foobar v.0.8.3 and figured i should upgrade yo .0.9 but i forgot how to do everything...anyhelp would be appreciated

Your image is not viewable, try using a proper image host like imageshack.

I will attempt to answer your question without the picture here it goes:

Vertical Splitter
-Tabbed panel stack
--Album Art
--ProjectM
-Playlist tabs
--Columns Playlist

er.. yea.. a picture or a better description of what you are looking for would definitely help :)

Request: I want to be able to change the active item frame on a per-track basis. Is this possible or could it be implemented?

This is probably an incredibly stupid question, but how do I add a column that serves to separate the columns it's between? Basically a vertical black line. I used to have it, but then I reinstalled foobar and lost all my settings.

File> Preferences> Display> ColumnsUI> Playlist View> Columns

Just add another column and set the style so the background is black. Set the width to 1 pixel or however thin you want it to be.

To day i've installed a fresh copy of foobar.When i looked in the "globals->style" tab i found this:
Code: [Select]
$if(%_isplaying%,

$puts(back,$offset_colour(%_back%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_back%),ff0000,20),25))
$puts(back-selected,$offset_colour(%_selected_back%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back%),ff0000,20),25))
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,$offset_colour(%_selected_back_no_focus%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back_no_focus%),ff0000,20),25))
,

$ifequal($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0,
$puts(back,$offset_colour(%_back%,$calculate_blend_target(%_back%),12))
$puts(back-selected,%_selected_back%)
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,%_selected_back_no_focus%)
,
$puts(back-selected,$offset_colour(%_selected_back%,$calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back%),7))
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,$offset_colour(%_selected_back_no_focus%,$calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back_no_focus%),7))
$puts(back,%_back%)
)


$offset_colour,%_back%,$calculate_blend_target,%_selected_back_no_focus%,%_selected_back%

And all these functions and fields are not familiar to me.Does anybody have a clue what they do?
Favourite artist:CD-R
Favourite album:700MB

Yeah I've noticed those functions and strings long ago, but afraid to ask. I also interested in what they do.

sorry if this had been discussed before, but can I apply cleartype only on playlist view? I wanna use calibri but it looks awful without cleartype, and since I use a CRT monitor, I can't enable cleartype for the whole pc because it'll give me a headache........... so just wondering if I can do that, it'll be awesome

thanks in advance

I've noticed a bug when the playlist is set to Auto-hide. If the playlist is hidden and then the currently playing track advances, the playlist display will be buggy when shown again. To reproduce:

1. Set playlist to Auto-hide.
2. Make sure there are not more playlist items than can be displayed at once.
3. Play one of the tracks.
4. Move focus away from the playlist so it hides.
5. Use "Next" command.
6. Show the playlist again.

This bug also affects switching tabs with the Tabbed Panel Stack component if the playlist is in a tab and the track advances while the playlist is hidden.

edit: It seems the bug only happens when "Cursor Follows Playback" is enabled.

I also thought of that plus something like $font(NAME,SIZE,OPTIONS,COLOR) as trackinfo_mod has, would be great (just a suggestion)

Is there a way to reset the columns ui to the default state only and not reset all of foobar?
I searched on google etc but couldnt find anything..

have you tried removing foo_ui_columns.dll from your components folder, restarting foobar and selecting [NO] for saving the settings, then adding the .dll back and restarting foobar again?

Hi there...

I've recently installed UI Columns 0.1.3 b1v5, along with foobar 0.9.3.1, and everything runs smoothly (it's a great plugin, thank you!!)... except for one thing:

Whenever I double click on a song in the cloumns view to play it, foobar stops to respond(but still plays the previous song), and it's cpu usage grows up to 99percent, having to close it withe the "finish process" button in the Task Manager.

This happened to me also with prior betas and prior foobars (0.9.2).

Any clue?

I'm running foobar on a Amd Athlon 64 3200+, with 512DDRRAM, WinXP Sp1

I've got these components installed:

What's up with the development? Is there any new version on its way, or did musicmusic take a development summer break?

Columns UI

Reply #3373 –
yeah i second that... does music music have any developement plans we can drool over?

what about resizing foobar when we change layouts... that would rock then we truly could click a button and have foobar resize completely - thats one of my biggest requests

also

drag and drop for the layout editor - every time a want to move a panel form a splitter i have to close it then open a new one in another splitter and in trackinfo/album arts case I have to redo the configs - normally just a copy paste but i think it would be much more user friendly if you could drop and drag.

other then that columns rocks!!!


what other features do people want?

kurtcos: the song you are clicking on in your playlist, does it exist? Did you maybe rename or move the file since it was added to foobar? I've seen similar behavior when foobar is asked to play a song that does not exist.

4nt1: ColumnsUI is a major component and I like to see musicmusic take his(/her?) time between releases because otherwise a lot of components would need to update to maintain compatibility whenever there is a significant change.

That being said, I too feel it has been quite some time since ColumnsUI has been updated. Will the annoying lines between components be removed? Will there be more flexibility with the playlist, multiple lines per entry or multiple playlists? How about auto-hide based on tagz criteria? Transparency?  There is plenty of room for improvement but we'll all just need to be patient, especially considering it is summer.

Edit: And I would really love the ability to move a component from one branch to another when designing the ColumnsUI layout.
