Wow, an accolade from the master
Thanks

@jeremija
Yours is also good looking.
Will it be your MinimalCUI 1.4?

And have you found a solution for your Trackinfo mod problem in the meantime?
I tried your MinimalCUI 1.3 with all possible path-variations and it worked good on my system (Win XP. Maybe the problem only happens on vista?).
No problems with the buttons.
But you don't have mousehover images for your playback buttons. Was it intended?


Btw.
Does anybody know a good looking monospace dot matrix font (for free)?
I need one to change the font style in my 'display'.
Something like 'smirnof', but monospace...

@tedgo:
i didn't find a solution to the trackinfo mod/panel stack splitter problem...i just have to use absolute paths.
first i create a variable $puts(foodir,C:\Media\foobar2000\img) and then i use it while drawing images. not perfect, but works...

i didn't put the mousehover images for the playback buttons, that was intended
i was just experimenting with those buttons... i would love if there was an option to have transparent backgrond in the Columns UI buttons toolbar; i don't like abusing the title formatting so much

update
it's almost finished now... hope i'll release it soon...

Strange, that you have problems with the relative paths in PSS and Trackinfo mod...
I have foobar in a standard installation path (C:\Programme\foobar2000\) and it works here without problems on WinXP.
Maybe it's caused by your installation path, since it's not a standard path? (Just a primitive guesswork  )

I don't know a workaround for transparent background for Columns UI buttons toolbar...
I have made my buttons in PSS.

My mousehover images are made by just lowering the brightness of the normal images (at about 20 %).
I think it looks simple but elegant 

Your skin looks good again.
I see you made a progress with your progress bar.
Is it just drawn in PSS or a WSH Panel?

i'm going to try by moving the foobar folder to program files and see if it chagnes anything. this is portable installation of foobar that i have moved from xp, but updated to the latest version in vista. i just realized that i have another installation of foobar in program files (forgot all about that  ). i guess i'll remove it and see what happens.
edit: i think i have solved the problem, it doesn't matter where is the foobar folder, the thing is that i've always been starting the player from a shortcut pinned on start menu (i right clicked on foobar2000.exe and pin to start menu). if i start the player from the folder, a normal shortcut or a pinned shortcut, it works!!

i see your point, but as i have normal (round, equal width and height) buttons, i'd like to use columns ui buttons toolbar. plus i get a 3d effect and a simpler configuration. the only thing i miss is the transparent background.

actually it's track info mod. the whole bar with rating stars, progress bar and time is track info mod. i couldn't find a way to rate the song from a button in panel stack splitter. even though i use foo_playcount and have rating entry in the context menu, i can't access it from panel stack splitter. the same thing is with run service plugin.
the progress bar is a stretched image (notice the similarity between the X button and the progress bar  )
i had a problem with track info mod and stretching 1-pixel images. track info mod fades the narrow image while stretching, so i had to make my image more than 400 pixels wide to avoid it. i guess i have more work to do, for instance make use of pss gradient rectangle function instead of stretching the image

(Same question again  )
Is the progress bar a WSH Panel or drawn in PSS?
I would like to know if it's possible to get a progress bar like this (with transparency) in WSH Panel...

 it's PSS. i've never used WSH, it always seemed complicated... plus it's no longer developed.

Code: [Select]
$puts(percent,$muldiv(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,100,%_time_total_seconds%))
$puts(width,$muldiv($get(percent),$get(prog_w),100))

$drawrect($get(prog_left),$add($get(top),2),$get(width),16,100-101-93-77,130-131-120-255)

That's true, but it's the only way i know to not only get a progress bar but a clickable custom seekbar

Here's the config I made that I've been using for a while. The design was originally a panels ui design, but when panels ui stopped being developed and fb2k went to v0.9.6.x along with the introduction of PSS with columns ui, I decided to convert my old config into the new age. The way I designed it was to be pretty compact while still retaining a high level of funtionality. I have a pretty humongous music library (35k+ songs), and I have everything perfectly organized with this config. And with the columns ui filter, browsing my library is super easy and super fast too. I don't know how good album list has improved since I used it last, but when I used album list with other configs and with my library, it was way too slow and laggy for me (reminded me of trying to use iTunes with my music library  ). Anyways, here is my config:

Harun :

How do you get the album average bitrate in the group header ?


Edit:

I allready found a way to get what I wanna.


I wanna make sure that all the tracks in a certain album were ripped with the same process or if not posible to have make sure all were on the same codec profile (for VBRs & ABRs) or the same bitrate (for CBRs)

For that I put in group format (ELplaylist) :

%ARTIST%  -  %album% '('%date%')'                        $if($stricmp(%codec_profile%,CBR),'@ '%bitrate%,%codec% %codec_profile%)


This way I have all albums sorted in :
artist | album | year | codec profile (for VBRs & ABRs)
artist | album | year | bitrate (for CBRs)

This way I can automatically find all the shitty compressed albums I've downloaded in the past...
And this way I can also put bitrate information in the group header that I'll know is the same for all the tracks

i think that must be the bitrate of the first track of the album.

I'm not Harun, but I think I know that one:
What you see is not the average bitrate for the album. It's just the bitrate of the first track. You can get it simply with %bitrate%.
The same for %codec%, %codec profile%, %total discs%, %disc number%, %total tracks%, etc.

Hi Tedgo,  works fine here. I don't have a separate directory for artist graphics... I keep all the pics in the same folder than their music, how can I activate the bacground view of artist?

It is described in the Readme.pdf
"... Right-click above the Playlist → Splitter Settings → Script and change under ////// Paths \\\\\\
→ $puts(artist.pic,D:\Eigene Musik\Artist Pictures\$replace(%artist%,/, ,\, ,*, ,?, ,", ,<, ,>, ,|, ,:, ).jpg) the red coloured part to the current path where your artist pictures are stored in.
Maybe you have to change the filename extension too (e.g. from jpg to png)..."

In your case you should replace the red coloured part with this:
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,$replace(%artist%,/, ,\, ,*, ,?, ,", ,<, ,>, ,|, ,:, ).jpg)
or with this:
$directory_path(%path%)\$replace(%artist%,/, ,\, ,*, ,?, ,", ,<, ,>, ,|, ,:, ).jpg

You may probably change the %artist% part too, it depends on how your artist pics are named.

EDIT:
I should have written "Right-click on the three buttons above the playlist...".
On a click left besides them there are possibly two Splitter settings (because the 'invisible' menu bar is in an extra splitter)...
Sorry for being so mistakable
