Really great stuff, thanks a lot  The way to make true color gradient will be nice..
Thank you! The version seems to work .  Look at this post: color gradients. I'll try to implement this in one of the future releases.

maybe I just lose the point, but what is the advantage of a zoom feature?
 

Peakmeter for Columns UI

Reply #203 –
you can use zoom to only focus on the higher levels : eg i dont care about -60 to -20

so my level goes from -20 to +12

this way i see a lot more movement and looks a lot cooler.


also is it possible to make your own textures to display the bars > ie define how they should be made then we can make our own custom ones... please...... very cool feature for sure > even with pngs then we can have alpha channels perhaps

Check it, using windows vista with peakmeter 0.0.3.1 crashed every time i played a song and closed foobar.  i then took out all the components except the ones that come with foobar, columns_ui and panels_ui.  i added them all back in until foobar crashed and it only crashed on two components... peakmeter and playlists_dropdown.

Just tried the beta and i'm happy to report that foobar isn't crashing on close.  I've restarted foobar several times to make sure.  Now all i need is the other component and i'm good with Brett's Scaled-0.7.

Can't wait until it's out of beta!  Keep up the good work!

As I'm testing the alpha version and I don't see this implemented, I remind it in case foo_pm has missed my request from some months ago: could it be possible to add a checkbox within "Peak indicator" options group with "Reset on track change" ? Now it behaves like this option is checked, and I would like to uncheck it so the peak indicator doesn't auto-reset when track changes. Thanks for keeping it alive!

Zoom feature: Can you make your component remember the zoom level in foobar2000.conf please?

Another vote! It would be nice not to have to adjust the zoom level after each restart of foobar

The import/export function in the alpha doesn't work for me. First it has trouble with some characters, ü gets ü  for example. Second I can't import anything, I always get "File is corrupt" error.

Feature request: It would be nice to add some kind of delay, so that the bars don't move as fast, to make the rise and fall more smooth.

Thanks for this plugin, I really like it a lot, keep up the good work .

Yes, it's a good idea. I will implement it in the next version 0.0.5.x. It will be part of a redesign of the mainbar drawing methods. In the next version there will be 3 modes: Linear, Gradient and Image. I hope the new gradient-mode will be part of 0.0.4.1.

Which OS, language are you using? Can you upload a corrupt file?

2 issues with newest version:
- old settings are not kept. I had to reset everything. But, I switched from ver 002 so that may be normal (still, it was bothersome).
- If I untick "lines", they will disappear in the sense that their color is the same as the background color. But, they still keep the space between the db label and the bar. In the old version, the label was right next to the bar.

On a personal note: I'm all for enabling color gradients. Specifically, one autogenerated from my current color scheme.

Recently I have found out a new visual component - Channel spectrum Panel, and have found some features in it, which I would like to see in Peakmeter.

1. Smoother falling of peaks.
2. Peaks do not freeze but continue to fall, when I press the 'pause' button.
3. Color gradients (well, it was mentioned already by other users ).

Now, the "sad" part of my post... (foo_uie_peakmeter.dll v0.0.4.0 alpha preview [25 August 2007])


It's a hint, which appears when I move the cursor over channel bars.

I have Windows XP SP2 Russian installed (if this info may be useful for you).

hmmm...

I would like to know what RMS is exactly? I searched the www for a while but only found weird explanations!

So what does it display?

And I also vote for smoother falling Peaks

Until version 0.1.0.0 conversion of older formats can not be guaranteed. But i will notify you after a new version which format will be supported (i hope i don't forget it).

there will be a redesign of the "show lines"-option. It will be part of the channel options. Then there would be no unnecessary space between the db-label and the bar.

Thanks. I couldn't reproduce it but i think i found the "slip of the pen" and will fix it in 0.0.4.1 beta.

why?

Hmm, in my opinion, it's more realistic... Moreover, I think this possibility can be connected together with already available option of peaks behaviour: if they fall they should fall in a 'Pause' state too, if they freeze - they should freeze  in a 'Pause' state too.

I think the way the peaks freeze with the bars is more realistic.  In a paused state, everything should pause.  Things moving while in a paused state is unrealistic, physically and principally.   

If anything should be changed, it should be speed of descent of the peaks when "Fall down" is enabled.  Instead of falling at the same rate of speed as the bars, it should fall slower.  Watch Winamp's classic visualization bars as an example.  The peaks always fall after ~1 sec, but at a slower speed, creating a descending peak shadow effect.

Here's what the effect looks like:

Unrealistic? Heh, but why the similar behaviour of peaks is inherent in overwhelming majority of the household musical equipment having spectral analyzer? And, I do not speak about any movement in a 'Pause' state - peaks simply should fall (once!).

Since my computer has been my only musical equipment for so long, I can't comment on other audio gear.  I guess we both want realism in imitating what we think is a "better" visualization style we're used to.  But freezing the visualization on pause is standard on the 3 big software audio players (WMP, Winamp, and Foobar2K).  So after years of seeing this it seems more natural to me than what consumer audio gear graphics look like.
