the bad news: Always on Top seems to be permanently enabled.. the toggle is stuck in the on position and doesn't respond to clicks..

IMPORTANT: because of the advanced alpha-blending features, the foo_looks plugin only works on Win2k / XP

Hi there

I've just tried foo looks for the first time and I really like the default skin ...

I guess this is a really stupid newbie question but where can I set the path to the album art to appear in that little window? I have the album art for every album saved in the respective album folder. I did try to search the forums but I got lost in that 24-page-thread.

Thx

I have WinNT 4.0 / SP6a at the office and i got a coloured box instead of the skin( i posted about this issue in another thread). Is there any solution to make it works on WinNT4? ( i got no problems with foo_looks 1.0.x.x and Foobar 0.7)

I am not sure how I can constructively help with this except by posting my own experience. On my machine, "Always On Top" works perfectly, except that the tick to signify whether it's toggled is not there.

It should just work as it looks for the album art in the same folder as the song that is playing. My guess is the search isn't finding your album art files. How are they named?

I used to make foo_looks a child of foobar2000 window which gives this behavior.  I'll see about making it a config option

Meanwhile it could probably be done with my new Lua scripting support in the beta if I add some bindings for hiding/showing foo_looks window and if (the developer formerly incorrectly known as z^6) PP would add some kind of UI callbacks so I could know when the main UI is moved, focused, minimized, etc.

The foo_looks ablumart skin could hide/show in repsonse to foobar UI events and also in response to if album art is available, etc.

Yes, it looks like I missed an SDK change - the way you add a checked state to a menu has changed in 0.8 from 0.7.  I'll get this fixed up next time around.

An example of how I would like to use it is to take a transparent cover art look which just shows the album art, similar to the one by melomane here (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17279&view=findpost&p=186866), and place it over the main playlist.

use mine...

...So my idea was to use foo_looks with a transparent cover art look like yours (but without the mouseover functionality) over the playlist, so the album art effectively appears as a background to the playlist.

The problem is I don't know how to acheive this.  The look should only stay on top of the foobar2000 main window.  But if I select  Always On Top then it stays on top of every application, and if I deselect Always On Top then it becomes hidden behind everything, even the foobar2000 main window.

Did I mention I now use Gravitron to convert Winamp Users to foobar? ^^
go tk32 go!

EDIT: Any suggestions why

function onrightbuttonup(this) fb2k_menuCommand('Foobar2000/Exit') end]

results in a foobar failure error?

Use mine... (reload it )

set look "always on top" AND foobar "minimize in the system tray" (preferences/display/defaut user interface/system tray)

to kill mouseover functionality change this:

alpha = 40...

bool  mouseinput  false

unless it is possible to configure a look to ignore mouse input and pass it to the window behind it?

for the background section try using this:

Quote

bool  mouseinput  false

i don't know whether this will prevent dragging as well, too early for me to start working.

Quote

unless it is possible to configure a look to ignore mouse input and pass it to the window behind it?

when you use render.erase on the background sprite, any pixels that are totally transparent pass mouse input to the window beneath

go back to my post on 'open projects' (page 1) try out #003, called albumart frame

play a song that doesn't have any albumart, then position the skin over the fb2k playlist... you'll be able to click right through the center of the skin! 

[Warning] Unable to find import file - [Line 5] Token = 'import'
Reference to undefined script 'draglook' encountered in section 'background'
Reference to undefined script 'albumartDisplay' encountered in section 'albumart'
Reference to undefined script 'draglook' encountered in section 'bgCover'

ok, the albumframe errors are due to the relocating of the common scripts file

i'm sorry i didn't see that issue before it happened

i'll fix that ASAP

as for your requests - i'm starting to get the feeling that the kind of functionality you are looking for is very different to that of a typical skin

by reading your comments i think you need a dedicated albumart plugin.

foo_looks can achieve this, but it won't pass mouse input to the window beneath unless you are clicking on invisible parts of the skin

so if you tried to click through an album cover, the fb2k window wouldn't respond

[Putting aside the click-pass-through issue for a moment, is there an answer to my other question:  is it possible to make the look window always on top of the foobar2000 window but not on top of other applications?  An example of what I would like is the foobar2000 console window.  This is always on top of the foobar2000 main window, but if I bring another app to the front without minimising foobar2000 then that app is on top of the console window too.  It would be great if foo_looks could do this.

Secondly is something I hadn't considered which is that using a transparent look as a background doesn't really work because of course really it is still on top so when I click on the playlist where the look is, the playlist doesn't respond.  I am actually clicking on the look.  I presume there is no way round this, unless it is possible to configure a look to ignore mouse input and pass it to the window behind it?

Great effort guys thanks. Now we need more skins. I think updating the foobar looks site (http://www.barciaonline.com/aural/foobarlooks/foobarlooks.htm) would attract more developers, wouldn't it?

Style XP and foo_looks working well here (unless the problem I've got with the always on top is related to this, I have to investigate further).

IMPORTANT:

possible bug when used with styleXP
=========================

i've had emails from 3 different users reporting that foo_looks does not work while using the windows XP theming software StyleXP (http://www.tgtsoft.com/) [span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'](http://www.tgtsoft.com/)[/span]

all 3 users have reported skin display problems like this, even after uninstalling StyleXP:



---
[span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%']btw...

Graviton update in the next day or 2![/span]

With tk32-Graviton_0.8, the cpu usage goes too high.
I tested with ver 0.7 and 0.8.
When I used ver 0.7, the cpu usage was around 3% with foobar2000.
But, with ver 0.8 it went up to 40%.

I guess that there is some leakage of cpu with the scrolling of title.

• progress bar (very soon)
• playback controls only when hover over blue section (not the grey ring)
• mini winshade mode
• shuffle / repeat modes

hi tk32, i saw that graviton uses arial narrow as default font to display the tag infos
i don't have this font by default in windows xp, so i wondered why i saw no info, only the time displayed until i figured that i needed to change the font type in the script

maybe take a font that all users have by default on their systems (don't know if i'm the only one who doesn't have this font)

and is it planned to show the VBR in realtime?

fb2k_playlistContextCommand('Show file info', -1)

fb2k_playlistContextCommand('Quick Tag/Rate +1', -1)

Maybe foo_looks also needs a dirty rectangle update system. Although, considering that the entire interface is assembled by a script, perhaps that would be more complicated than I think... especially if the entire image is assembled from scratch by several script calls... Then it might need to log every drawing function called since the last erase, check for changes in any of the parameters or functions called since the last redraw, then limit redrawing intelligently. ...boy, sounds like fun.

• Update all sprites - each sprite will, if necessary, add its bounding rectangle to the invalid region
• Draw each sprite on the back buffer (memory surface) but clipped to the invalid region.  If a sprites bounding box doesn't intersect the region it is skipped completely.
• Flip the buffer to the front buffer.  This used to be an actual blit from the back buffer to the window DC but is now a call to UpdateLayeredWindow()

Thanks for answering,
I tried 'Properties...' and 'Properties' and both didn't work, but 'Show File info' did...  

Does text-scrolling with Gravition works on your system? On my system it doesn't work correctly: The text doesn't scroll evenly, it seems like the system would be to slow! (I hope you uderstand what I want to say) Sometimes the text scrolls back one or two pixels. But the cpu-usage ist "only" at 40-50%!
Somebody has this problem to?

Big_Berny

If you look a few posts back (here), you will see that tk32 posted a new ski-file for Gravitation. As the scrolling didn't really work out very well, the new ski-file will disable it. See his comments.

i've decided to use a auto-fit script in Graviton that dos it's best to always fit the text without the need to scroll.

Hi tk2, danZ, upNorth,
I'm trying to build my own look, but I wonder if I can include your scripts ?
progress bar & playlist in micropanel, volume control & scrolltext in graviton, coloration layers in concept... are really a must-have ; I think I'm not able to program these concepts better than you all three did ! Of course full credits will be given to their authors in the look infos
Best regards

import filename1.ski // import all the .ski files that have scripts you want
import filename2.ski

As for the use of my scripts, see danZ post. We are one big happy family  

• Every time I start fb2k the volume slider of the skin starts at the same position no matter what the volume at the startup is. But as soon as I click (not slide) the volume slider, the volume abruptly jumps to the intended level of the slider position. However when fb2k starts the volume slider position should reflect the volume of that instant -> it should not jump if the slider position is not changed after a click.
• When I adjust the volume with +/- buttons the volume slider position is not affected. I don't think this is how it should be.
• When I am playing some song in say Playlist 1 and click once on another song in Playlist 2, the track info part at the bottom reflects the info of the song in Playlist 2 not the one currently being played in Playlist 1. I guess that's also a problem. It does not happen with files in the same playlist. I have "Follow cursor" set to OFF.

I don't know if it is related to the skin I am using (fooAmp2) or it is the foo_looks component but I have the following problems:

But as soon as I click (not slide) the volume slider, the volume abruptly jumps to the intended level of the slider position.

Thanks for the help and keep up the good work.

import tk32_progBar.ski

@tk32 :
Thanks for the script, I was just testing the one in micropanel to understand how it works
I will use your volume script for sure, with small adjustements because my volume control is vertical (mouse management may differ ?)
I think I won't use any graphics, as I'm trying to paint my look from scratch... and it's quite difficult, as Graviton is really awesome !

wow, thanks for offering help, I will give you the graphics asap, but I think I'll try to stick to Graviton policy : a set of different vertical volume bars at different states (ranging from 1 to 12), each at the right of the higher one... I mean like that : a 70x120 pixel height picture with volume1 (dims : 50x10) at x=0, volume2 at x=10, volume3 at x=20, etc.

So there would be minimal changes on your script, just setting the srcoff coords on x instead of y, and inverting the mouse x y axis management I guess ?

I'd like to use a grip, and maybe a non-grapical bar would be useful if the alphablending costs too much cpu ? Well I have to paint it first to see how it behaves... Let's work !

Excellent work, all of you!


Now that I have gotten the album art figured out, I was wondering for the default look, in TV mode, is there a way to add the equalizer bars (spectrum analyzer thing, cant think of the right term long day at work) for that view?

As well, is there a way to make the playlist that shows in the look to skip to the now playing track? If i have it on shuffle and I want to see whats coming up next I have to scroll through everything to find out where in the playlilst I am.....

function onplaybacknewtrack(this)
    scrollTo(fb2k_getNowPlaying())
end

I am using foo_looks with the micropanel skin but i just use it in the small mode, so my question is if there is a way for the skin to remember that it was small. It always changes back to the big normal mode when I restart foobar.

//Presets

int startLayout layouts.standard

linkin was talking about my micropanel skin, not the default look

also, i noticed the progress bar acts strangely in mini-mode - i will fix this too.

section presets

int mini 1
int timedisplay 0

hi
I'd like to set the font color of every text-sprite to a global value using lua scripting :
is there a easy way to do this ? I currently have to perform this for each sprite in the look using a 'for' loop...

for i=1, getn(look_sprites) do
     look_setFontColor(look_sprites[i],look_color(255,255,255,255))
end

If could be added pretty easily but I'm guessing that at that size the CPU usage will go through the roof.  The new alpha blending support with the desktop might make a fullscreen look impractical.  At one point I was making a dedicated fullscreen UI but I never finished that project.

I can't think of a better way to do that.  The for loop sounds like the best approach.  Do you know about the built in global look_sprites which is a table of all sprites defined in the look?

Code: [Select]

for i=1, getn(look_sprites) do
     look_setFontColor(look_sprites[i],look_color(255,255,255,255))
end

danZ, I miss the option look_setValue(section, name, value), to be able to update my presets section. Do you think you could add it?

thanks for the compliments tk32. This wouldn't have been possible without your help, and DanZ help too  !!
in the next few days maybe i'll make a microbar mode ([span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%']currently, my own weapon of choice is DanZ small-modded microlayout bar[/span] )
@DanZ : upNorth requested, but i miss a look_setValue feature too... if this could work also on sprites (not only section) this would be great

it's a little bulky for my own tastes (as is Graviton)...
[span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'](UpNorth's Concept skin is my current weapon of choice)[/span]

For my new look I try to add features I would actually use and no unnecessary bloat.

Carel: I totally agree with tk32, quite a few impressing features in your look 

4.2 - Coercion

Lua provides some automatic conversions between values at run time. Any arithmetic operation applied to a string tries to convert that string to a number, following the usual rules. ...

sprite rated2
.
.
list scripts string { "trackrating[tagSpec='%trackrating%' rated=2]" }


lua trackrating
    rated = 0
    current = ""
    tagSpec = nil
  
    function rating(this)
  current = fb2k_formatTitle(fb2k_getNowPlaying(),tagSpec)
  current = tonumber(current)
  
  if current >= rated then

.
.
.

Just a little thingie: clicking the "Always on top" button doesn't make the skin do what it should do (stay on top of all other windows). Any idea?

maybe auto-scrolling of playlists/track names/album names./ when u highlight them?

@upNorth : thanks, i've made a quick modification (copy'n paste from HeaBside) to add fastscrolling of playlist, and tabs playlist navigation, ski files are here (http://carel.foobar.free.fr/hydrogenaudio/concept%5bcarel%20mod%5d.rar) (sorry, had to change some placements). Your relative placement code is very clever, i didn't figured how it works until i saw the ascii figure

I need to find a workaround (if possible) concerning the issues with foreign characters in my scrolling script. Hopefully danZ can do something with look_measureTextAbs() that seems to cause this problem.

Right now, I love foo_looks more than ever! It enables me to realize some of my ideas for plugins, without being able to create a plugin myself. Thanks danZ 

one very stupid question,see this:

section window
int width 200
int height window.width
int border 4
int album 192

int album =  int width - (2x int border)

it is possible to make calculation automatically?

Math is not supported in my .ski syntax at this time.

just a quick question: would it be possible to integrate the foobar standard playlist (with all the nice features and formatting strings) into a new look ? For me the perfect skin would just replace everything BUT the playlist with a nicer look while keeping the playlist integrated. That is one of the things that is letting me stay away from foo_looks because I hate switching around between a look and the normal playlist and I'm not quite satisfied with the playlists that come with all the looks.

in the first version of foo_looks 2.0, the default look tried to use the formatting string used by the main UI.. it worked fine with simple formatting strings,  but with more complicated ones (such as upnorth's dynamic string (still my personal favorite )[/i] and many other ones) it caused massive CPU usage, rendering the look virtually unusable.. it was disabled in the next version..


this moment in foo_looks history brought to you by bogsnarth

'true masks' as you call them - are not possible

the correct name for this is a 'clipping mask'[span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'] (like the ones in Adobe Photoshop)[/span]

..and it's very hard to code a clipping mask in foo_looks[span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'] (probably possible, but lots of CPU)[/span]

the only type of masking possible is by using graphics with invisible sections that show-through

an example of this type of mask is in Micropanel - i overlay a duplicate of the two edges of the skin to block out the text as it scrolls.


hope that answers your question.

anybody know how to make it so that the skin displays time of song playing, not remaining?

Is there any way to disable foo looks without uninstalling it entirely?

so would %et% "elapsed time (0:00)"
%eet% "extended elapsed time (padded to fit 00:00)"
%etm% "elapsed time in minutes (1:02:00 hours will be 62:00)"

make it so that if the song is at 1:19 it'll display that instead of 3:00-1:19

i don't want to show the remaining time, thx

hello

@ carel: In the file "HeaBside_scripts.ski" of your skin , there s a little mistake that makes the fonction "Always on top" not functionning
you wrote : fb2k_menuCommand('Components/Look/Always on Top')
instead of : fb2k_menuCommand('Components/Look/Show/Always on Top')
keep improving your skin please ( for example a better way to display album art ), i love it

sprite albumart
    bool enabled false

elseif dmenu == 'Spectrum' then look_setVisible(albumart,not(look_getVisible(albumart)))

elseif dmenu == 'Spectrum' then look_setVisible(albumart,not(look_getVisible(albumart))) look_setEnabled(albumart, look_getVisible(albumart))

So you can try adding a line in sprite albumart :

Code: [Select]

sprite albumart
    bool enabled false

Another "designing" question : did you had hard time to modify HeaBside ?

i actually use a trick from tk32 to ease designing : in sprites global i add 3 line script to render a red thin border in order to see where the sprites are

i wondered if it would be useful if i made a script to 'drag&drop' sprites with mouse (after switching to a special 'editing look' mode) ? in order to offer a kind of 'on the fly look modification' without having to mess in .ski ?

sprite 'playbutton' moved to x:58 y:83

about the live-edit mode you were discussing.
we could write a script called moveable, or some other name

the script would add left mouse drag feature to any sprite [span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'](but the sprite must be 'bool enabled true')[/span]

you would be able to drag the sprites around the skin, and the script could output the coordinates to the console.

eg.

Code: [Select]

sprite 'playbutton' moved to x:58 y:83

it could save a lot of time guessing coordinates - but it might be a pain in the ass if you need to onlu nudge sprites by a few pixels, because keyboard support in foo_looks is still basic and not tested.

why don't you try making a skin too ? i think you understand well how things goes now, it's not as difficult as it seems, just follow tk32 great tutorial

- I have a problem with playlist number. If I use %_playlist_number% olways show 0 :|

- I have using mouse wheel to change volume and to change songs like this:
code:
----------------------------------------
lua P_N
function onmousewheel(this, delta)
    if delta>0 then fb2k_playSkipStart(-1) else fb2k_playSkipStart(1) end     
  end
endlua
----------------------------------------
And I have a problem becouse the wheel not work with 100% and sometimes do not. And I must click on something else and then wheel work fine.

And a question: Can I (how) change master volume on my sound card from my skin becouse I want to change foobar volume on left click and master volume on right mouse click.

@ub312g0d : looks nice  do you plan to make the buttons at the bottom like the original itunes ?
@tk32 : (another idea about playlist although i don't have time to try it now) i had this idea when i looked at upNorth relative placement code : couldn't we add a 'dragable' corner on the playlist, in order to allow us to adjust its height & width with mouse ? this corner would have a script attached wich modify the x,y of the sprites used for right and bottom sides of the playlist (+height for right sprite) and modify the height & width of the look window.
This would add a small constraint for any playlist-based look : it needs right_side & bottom_side sprites that could be easily moved without visual problems at the 'jonction' (no problem with upNorth concept as everything has the same color, but with footunes might be an issue because of textures)
and er.. maybe haven't you seen my last 2 questions (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19310&view=findpost&p=199820), about keyboard inputs and console output ?

- I have a problem with playlist number. If I use %_playlist_number% olways show 0 :|

Each sprite has a property "playlistindex" which determines which item it formats its text against.

By default it is -1 which is the now playing item.

tk32 can elaborate on this - he dealt with it for his looks.

Hi

I have 2 questions:

1) i ve updated foobar2000 to version 0.81 and since then each time i launch foobar , the menus and command buttons do not apear in the main foobar window
this screenshot will be more explicit :

(http://perso.club-internet.fr/sebastienperez/junk/0.81pb.jpg)

if i remove foo_look.dll from the component folder then it works fine

Anyone else experiencing this bug ? does foo_look need an update to work with foobar 0.81 ( i had no problem with 0.8 )



2) for the 2nd question i hope it has not been already asked but i d like to know if it s possible to import some text from separate file to display it in a sprite ?
Because i'd like to display the lyrics of the playing song but my lyrics are not stored in tags but in a separate file for each song like this
<album folder>
  |_<Lyrics>
  |  |_song1.lrc
  |  |_song2.lrc
  |  |_song3.lrc
  |  |_etc.....
  |_song1.mpc
  |_song2.mpc
  |_song3.mpc
  |_etc...

does "import" can import just simple text from a file without the text being in a string ?

thanks

• determine the lyrics filename based on song name and your directory layout
• open the file using openfile()
• read in the lyrics using read()
• set the text of the sprite to that text using look_setText(sprite, lyricsstring)
• close the file closefile()

Basically you will need a script attached to the sprite in question that would:

Hi

I have 2 questions:

1) i ve updated foobar2000 to version 0.81 and since then each time i launch foobar , the menus and command buttons do not apear in the main foobar window
this screenshot will be more explicit :

(http://perso.club-internet.fr/sebastienperez/junk/0.81pb.jpg)

if i remove foo_look.dll from the component folder then it works fine

Anyone else experiencing this bug ? does foo_look need an update to work with foobar 0.81 ( i had no problem with 0.8 )

 list scripts string { "volumeinfo" }

@tk32 : (another idea about playlist although i don't have time to try it now) i had this idea when i looked at upNorth relative placement code : couldn't we add a 'dragable' corner on the playlist, in order to allow us to adjust its height & width with mouse ? this corner would have a script attached wich modify the x,y of the sprites used for right and bottom sides of the playlist (+height for right sprite) and modify the height & width of the look window.
This would add a small constraint for any playlist-based look : it needs right_side & bottom_side sprites that could be easily moved without visual problems at the 'jonction' (no problem with upNorth concept as everything has the same color, but with footunes might be an issue because of textures)
and er.. maybe haven't you seen my last 2 questions (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19310&view=findpost&p=199820), about keyboard inputs and console output ?

@melomane
this feature was already disabled
did you have this problem too ? and your suggestion worked with you ?

@tk32:
In danger of going on your nerves, are there any news about the graviton?
people keep asking me about news, because it was the reason, why they switched to foobar ^^

My new look has a horrizontal "drag to resize", but it doesn't use any textures. I'm not at home at the moment, but I can post it when I get back home (12th or something). It's not finished but you can have a look at it.
I personally don't need any vertical resizing untill danZ change the way playlist entries are implemented. One sprite per entry makes it hard/impossible to add more entries dynamically.

i just got back from Easter Holiday/Vacation

really nice skin
a suggestion , maybe you could add the instruction in tooltips , that would be handy , no ?
good work

just ask if you'd like to post updates/fixes for your skin. Nice work. Just little suggestion : you could use tk32 progress bar, it's ready-to-use and has seeking feature (wich i miss in sunset)

can somebody plz help me add that clicking on the close button with the right mouse button closes foobar, just clicking the close button closes the skin, making the skin always show elapsed time, and to make the button for opening/minimizing foobar work for carbon?

the closing part works great, but how can i edit it so that the button to open/minmize foobar works?

fb2k_menuCommand("system/Activate")

i have the same problem, but only with "enable user profil support" checked with foobar 0.81, foolook 2.1 AND when foobar start on playlist other than the first!

with foobar 0.8 allway problem with foolook 2.1 but same behavour ("enable user profil support" checked AND  foobar start  playlist other than the first) with foolook 2 beta.

here some informations (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17279&view=findpost&p=190219)


uninstall foobar, delete config files and reinstall 0.81
use foolook 2.1 (not beta)
download foolook 2.1 (http://www.loodi.com/foo_looks.zip)

uncheck "enable user profil support"

it work for me.

I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this, but I thought you could be interested.

It looks like Sonique is dying and some skinners are considering foobar/foo_looks as a possible alternative (see here (http://forum.sonique.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7506)).

I don't know if this is at all feasible, but there are very talented skinners in their community: perhaps danZ and/or tk32 could get in touch with some of them and land a hand.

Alessandro

Can you try to make code-only skins available as in sonique? That'd be a pretty good feature: no pic files, just a little code file and around 3 kb for a skin that can be beautiful.

holy shit

this is good

1 suggestion.
work with danZ to find a way of setting the 'rating' by clicking in the boxes, but still incorporate the 'find similar rated track' (although i imagine people will only ever click on the 5-star box )

INFO (foo_looks) : Initializing GDI+
ERROR (foo_looks) : malformed number;
  last token read: `100.0' at line 11 in string "..."
ERROR (foo_looks) : Sprite 'albumartgrip' Error(s) loading script 'albumartSliderImpl'
INFO (CORE) : startup time: 1863 ms

btw carbon doesnt work with 0.8.1 worked with 0.8
the skins two buttons, minimize and close show up as squares, the play pause and stop buttons when you hover also show up weird

how can i fix this?

also whats the thing you have to add to make a skin always show elapsed time?

@upNorth
Amazing work! Although I (sheepishly) won't be using it (foo_ui_columns + foo_looks for album art & now playing display fits my current usage better), I still want to say that navigator has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing, comprehensive yet easy to use look created.

@upNorth
Really great job! A few minor things you should fix/improve (IMHO):

1) When a song title is longer than the previously playing song, it displays a title as wide as the previous one and if you shrink the skin to make the title scroll it will display the title of the previous song. Note that this doesn't happen when you manually skip to the next song with >.
2) Restore last defined size at startup.
3) Make the left button (play/pause/stop) less "cryptic".
4) When a song title is shorter than the previously playing song, it isn't centered and if you shrink the skin to make the title scroll it will display the title of the previous song. Note that this doesn't happen when you manually skip to the next song with > (seems to be the same bug as #1, but I thought I'd mention it for completeness).

Now if you could only add somewhere a (resizable) popup to display a specific tag (like %lyrics% )....!

      if delta - floor(delta) < 0.5 then
    delta = floor(delta)
      else
    delta = ceil(delta)
      end

Then a question:
Is there no math function in LUA that will return the closest integer value?

x = floor(x+0.5) -- rounds 1.5 to 2
x = ceil(x-0.5)  -- rounds 1.5 to 1

ok, i'm interested to know if anyone has noticed any bugs or annoying features in any of my skins

i'm currently updating them all and would be interested to know any problems, as well as any suggestions for the skins i have developed so far.

thanks

Hi tk32, I listed a list of bugs some time ago. Are you done with the update? Where can I get them? Thanks...

sorry it's taken me so long, i didn't realise anybody was waiting

@upNorth : navigator is REALLY GREAT !! I love your resizable window !!!

just a minor issue : with some titles the scrolling makes it "flicker" ; it happens only when the letter with accent touches the left side of the title zone... should be the same problem you raised before.

great work anyway ! 

@upNorth:

Sorry for pestering you, but I was wondering if you have a new version of navigator ready for us to enjoy .

Currently my motivation is limited by the fact that other plugins interferes with foo_looks.

Currently my motivation is limited by the fact that other plugins interferes with foo_looks. I knew about foo_ui_columns, but now it turns out that the Extended Playlist generator (foo_playlistgen_ex) does the same thing (at least version 1.3.1). Both of them makes the playlist in my look not behave as it should upon track change. Just adding foo_ui_columns to the components directory, even without enabling it, makes this happen. When I remove these plugins, everything works just fine.

Would it be possible to add another trigger function that runs when the UI becomes activated? - For example, when it goes from hidden in the system tray to active.

Edit: Also, is there a way to set fillcolor2 from lua? I only see look_setFillColor. 

Edit2: What about a function to attach a Lua script to a sprite?

Not supported but not a bad idea.  I also plan at some point to allow sprites to be created on the fly.

Edit: Also, is there a way to set fillcolor2 from lua? I only see look_setFillColor. 

   { "look_setFillColor",   "void",   "sprite [ {sprite, ... } ], color, which [0,1,2 or nil == both]" },

Not a great match for the names used but

0 = fillcolor
1 = fillcolor2
2 or nil = change both colors

look_setFillColor(mySprite, look_color(255,0,0,0),1)

Is it possible to change the way getAlbumArtList() behaves?  I am using single flac/cue for each album and I have everything organized with one folder for each artist will all albums in that folder.  With that, the album art that gets displayed is the first picture it finds in the folder.  Is there a way to configure foo_looks to return the cover art that is named the same (or configurable via TAGZ) as the referenced file playing instead of the first file it finds?  And, will it ever be possible to reach inside a matroska container to retrieve the attached cover art file?  Thanks!

lua albumartSliderImpl

artlist = {}

function onattach(this)
    resetAlbumartSlider(this)
end

function sliderEndDrag(this,pos)
    local t = getn(artlist) - 1
    newart = floor((t * pos) / 100.0)
    LOG(newart)
    look_callScript(albumart,"updateImage",albumart,fb2k_playlistGetFocus(),newart+1)
end

function onplaylistfocuschange(this,from,to)
    resetAlbumartSlider(this)
end

function resetAlbumartSlider(this)
    look_callScript(this,"resetSlide",this)
    artlist = look_getAlbumArtList()
    look_setEnabled(this,getn(artlist) > 1)
end

endlua

If I could make a request, in the next version could you add the ability to disable foo_looks without removing the plugin? It would be a nice feature for people like me who like to install a lot of plugins but don't necessarily like to use them all the time.

I think your description of the function is incorrect. It seems that the value of -1 sets fillcolor 1, and any other value sets fillcolor 2 once fillcolor 1 has been set..

I don't really understand the code behind this behaviour, but it seems kinda weird. My code does what is intended now, but I don't know why...

I'll have to look but there might be a problem with setting the fillcolor in a script if no fillcolor was originally defined in the sprite declaration.

That is

sprite foo
list fillcolor int { 255,0,0,0 }
list fillcolor int { 255,0,0,0 }
list scripts string { "changeFillcolor" }

and

sprite foo2
// no fillcolors explicitly defined
list scripts string { "changeFillcolor" }

might behave differently.

Maybe you can confirm this for me?

list fillcolor int { 255 0 0 0 }
list fillcolor2 int { 255 0 0 0 }

Right Click the foobar taskbar icon.
Choose "Look"
Choose "Activate" (this should un-check and deactivate the look.)

hi all,

just come across foo looks - i'm having the same problem that villa21 was having earlier in this thread. Unfortunately no one seems to answer him in this thread and despite having gone through most of the archive i can't seem to find his other post.

What is happening is that instead of any skins appearing all i'm getting is several multicoloured boxes. From what i've read this can happen on winnt 4.0 etc but im running win xp pro with sp1 so i'm a bit confused as to why it's happening.

i can try and post screenies later if it will help; other important details is that i was running foobar 0.78 and installed the latest stable (ie non beta) foo looks on to it and had the same problem. I then d/l the latest foo looks beta and still the same and then tried the latest version of foobar (0.81). Didn't uninstall in between, just installed over the top.

Running Shuttle SB75G2, 1GB TwinMos PC3200 RAM, Hercules AIW 9800 SE (running as Pro due to softmod) on a 2.8GHz Northwood 'C' P4. All components at stock aside from softmod on WinXP Pro SP1 with all latest updates.

Anyone got any ideas as to whats happening?

Cheers,

rOAdeh

most of the other users who reported the same problems all had used some sort of windows shell replacement/mod (most commonly styleXP)

just started up foobar this morning after a reboot and had the same problem with the multicoloured boxes...

once again pressing f9 solves it fine :| - what exactly is f9 doing?

sprite Playlist // no header or columns
string fspec "%title%"

sprite Playlist //with columns
list columnHeader string { "Title", "Artist","Album", "Duration" }
list columnFormat string { "%title%", "%artist%","%album%", "%_length%" }

list columnColor list { { 255 0 0 0 }, { 255 55 55 55 }, { 255 56 56 56 }, { 255 57 57 57 } }
list columnHalign int {align.near, align.near, align.near, align.near, align.near}
list columnSort string {"tagz/lua sorting string", "tagz/lua sorting string", "tagz/lua sorting string", "tagz/lua sorting string"}
list columnWidth int {200, 50, 50, 30}
list columnWidthResize int {300, 150, 150, 50}
list columnHeader_revert_order_on_click int {yes, no, no, yes}

• Improved textscrolling code and behavior
• Improved playlist code and behavior
• Added 'change tab' support
• Added order/flow support
• Added a small 'find artist that starts with a certain character' keyboard (nice with large playlists, but depends on sorting to work as intended)
• Added, changed or removed some other features
• Changed some colors

I am using the navigator skin and most of the times it displays the previous one on the playlist.

Any ideas?

I still have the same problem, I don't have foo_ui_columns and foo_playlistgen_ex.

Then I guess the two plugins I mentioned are not the only ones that causes this problem.

docuk, not meaning to rush you or anything but you got an estimate for carbon 1.5?

One more thing, upNorth: could you fix the title info for streaming audio (like smoothjazz.com, for example)?

NOTE: For some strange reason foo_ui_columns and foo_playlistgen_ex seems to cause problems, even if not being used. The playlist should scroll, to show the playing track in the middle, when you skip. If it doesn't, or other strange things happens, try removing these two from the components directory.

Is there any way to stop foo looks from always being "on top?" I've scoured the prefs, but I can't find any option for it. I am using 2.1.
Is this something that might change in the future?

I am using the navigator skin and most of the times it displays the previous one on the playlist.

Awesome Look upNorth , one of the best i used so far ,
Keep up the Good Work

Where can a person download foo_looks?  I keep getting errors on the link that is on the first page.  I really wanna try this.  Thanks.

Just encountered the problem with strange behavior on track start/change again. Same problem as mentioned many times before in this thread. This time it was solved by removing foo_dbsearch (v.1.2.4). I guess I have to make a list soon, to make sure I remember all the incompatible plugins. 

upnorth when can you plzzzzz upload the new carbon skin?

DanZ and I are in the process of switching web hosting providers, so all of the files aren't quite copied over yet.  Give it another day or so and it should be up and running again.

Or, in case you also have songs which have %trackrating%, replace %trackrating% with $if2(%rating%,%trackrating%)

Alright I swear I will get to it this weekend or maybe before. It's been done, but TK32 is away, and I can't be bothered to host it and make the image and everything - Guess I'll have to. 

list scripts string { "[function onrightbuttonup(this) fb2k_menuCommand('Foobar2000/Activate main window') end]"

Excuse newbie...

Code: [Select]

list scripts string { "[function onrightbuttonup(this) fb2k_menuCommand('Foobar2000/Activate main window') end]"

... doesn't work at scripts, coz there isn't such item in Foobar2000 menu in 0.8.2 version.
advice please how can I send command like a '[main] Foobar2000/Activate or hide' action of KeyboardShortcuts?

fb2k_menuCommand('Foobar2000/Activate or hide main window')

[imho] feature to storing some skin data (position, mode, ets) is urgent [/imho]

what about resizing (with mouse)?

Quote

what about resizing (with mouse)?

Already possible. Try my "navigator" look and press and hold the left mouse button on the time display, then drag. My look only supports horizontal resizing, but that's only because I didn't have any use for vertical. I don't use real graphics in my look though, and that makes it alot easier. I haven't figured out if it's possible with a fully "photoshop" made look.

Edit: If you where asking for memory and resizing of the default look, I misinterpreted your question. My answer was based on the assumption that you where trying to code your own.

Btw, why it doesn't presented here: http://www.btinternet.com/~sean.m.kelly/fo...oks/gallery.htm (http://www.btinternet.com/~sean.m.kelly/foo_looks/gallery.htm) ?

English is hard for me, and I didn't understood your phrase after Edit:

However, before I will add any new features to my look, something has to be done with the incompatibility with other plugins, as I can't use foo_looks at the moment. I use foo_ui_columns, foo_dbsearch and foo_playlistgen_ex and all of them has caused trouble with foo_looks. This is the last time I'll whine about this, and I won't do anything related to foo_looks coding until it is fix. I'm too tired of not seeing any interest about this, to me, major problem.

dockuk done?

1) with no skin selected is there an easy gui interface to change the volume (I can't find it, or a prefence to display it if there is)

Quote

dockuk done?

Like I said, it's been done for a month about. But I am just really busy - Exams finish in two weeks. I just don't have the incentive or free time to do a release at the moment.

Don't worry - It will be worth it.

• look_measureTextAbs(this) is not listed on http://www.btinternet.com/%7esean.m.kelly/.../script_ref.htm (http://www.btinternet.com/%7esean.m.kelly/foo_looks/script_ref.htm) and should be added. Same for window_setAlpha(alpha). Also, if the functions portion was fixed so that it would be more readable (perhaps in a nice table - showing syntax, return value, and description for each function) look development can be a LOT easier.
• I haven't seen a look that uses keyboard shortcuts, and couldn't get it to work in my look. Is keyboard support only meant for later version of foo_looks?

lua originator
     table_of_something = { "a cat", "a dog" }
    -- ...
endlua

lua another scripts
     function onupdate(this)
            -- (How do I access table_of_something from here?)
     end
enalua

section globals

string script "

table= { item1, item2, item3 }

sprite_group = { sprite1, sprite2 }

function disable(group)
  look_setVisible(group,false)
  look_setEnabled(group,false)
end

pi = 3.142

"

onleftbuttonup(this)
  if (x < pi) then
     disable(sprite_group)
  end
end

Thanks a lot tk32 - now I almost have my solution.

One thing I noticed though - is that actual statements (not function and variable definitions) in the "global script space" are executed many times when the look is initialized - if I'm not mistaken, once for each sprite. Is this a bug? Why is this so? I was trying to put some code there to fill up my global tables with data extracted from the playlist (artist and album lists...), and it worked, but this code was executed like 50 times instead of once.

t = fb2k_getDatabaseEntries()
fb2k_addDBEntryToPlaylist( t[1] ) -- add the first entry in db to the playlist

Why when I use transparent image in my skin the image is transparent only on the beginig and it pun on image before so transparent it's gone. What I must do ?

list rendermap int { render.Erase render.Image }

I'm happy to say that for some unknown reason, foo_looks now works perfectly. I don't have any conflicts with foo_ui_columns and other plugins I use, that has caused problems in the past. This is too good to be true...  

So, I've been adding some more or less useful features (bloat?), to my "navigator" look, the past two days 

My foo_looks looks like this:



OS is Windows XP and I use Foobar 8.2.

• Added a graphics file and updated appearance
• Color selection (with presets and HSB sliders)
• Double click resize area (time display) to "resize to fit".
• Removed 'search' button to make room for color selection button
• Improved old code.

• Color selection (with presets and HSB sliders)
  
• Double click resize area (time display) to "resize to fit".

Hope I didn't forget to fix obvious problems.

My only complaint, though, is the lack for mouse scroller support in the playlist.

Navigator beta2 (download (http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~mortek/foobar2000/navigator/beta2/navigator_beta2.rar)).

Quote

• Color selection (with presets and HSB sliders)
  
• Double click resize area (time display) to "resize to fit".

Haha, nooo. Those were my features. I did the same thing

.function Contains(table, value)
.    for i=1,getn(table) do
.  if table[i] == value then
.      return true
.  end 
.    end
.    return false
.end

.function WithoutDuplicates(t)
.    result = { }
.    tableindex = 1
.    for k=1,getn(t) do
.  if not Contains(result, t[k]) then
.      result[tableindex] = t[k]
.      tableindex = tableindex + 1
.  end
.    end
.    return result
.end

art = WithoutDuplicates(look_getAlbumArtList())

Seriously though, new Carbon has HSB sliders, though I had them as HSL (L for luminance), and doubleclicking resizer resized to default width... 

• Click that blue-ish thing at the top, it's a sliding tray that lets you quick-navigate through albums. The left and right corners of the sliding tray are the hidden navigation buttons - use both right and left mouse buttons on them and see what happens.
• The album and artist names on the bottom left corner are clickable (Left - next artist/album, Right - previous artist/album)
• Clicking on the big album art picture shows it full-screen. Then, left click to return to the main interface, right click to see the next available picture for this album
• Don't eat the yellow snow.
• Click on the artist's name on the top to switch to the artist-selection layout. In the artists list:
  • Right click: Show the first album by this artist.
  • Left double-click - Play the first album by this artist
  • Left click - show picture of this artist (if one is available in c:\artists\, for example: c:\artists\Alanis Morissette.jpg

@mobyduck: There is some strange things happening with streaming audio. My first attempt to fix it wasn't very successful, but I'll try again later.

@rOAdeh-
Are you sure you checked the obvious thing? Did you try to search your foobar2000 directory for  foo_looks.dll and make sure it doesn't appear twice?Maybe hidden somewhere where you didn't notice?

Hmm. Download link returns a 404 error.

This bug was exist with shorter than playlist area playlists
@upNorth: You have the same problem in navigator (I had copied playlist from Your skin)
Maybe this part of code help You too:

[snipped code]

Hadda your skin looks great, but when i select it, its position is too much on the right side of my screen, so I can't reach the button to drag it (My resolution is 1024*768).
Or anybody know how to change the starting position of a skin, it happens at some of the skins that they are out of the screen.

Just press the Alt key to drag it from anywhere on the skin.

And also i would like to say BIG THANKS to Tom for looks2...

WOW 

Anyway... THANKS TO ALL, WHO MAKE FOOBAR2K EVEN BETTER!

And some kind of feature request...

Can Peter include looks2 and some cool skins (like Graviton or heaBside) in foob's Special edition?
I think this will addict people to BEST PLAYA IN DA UNIVERSE

Be careful.

• When hovering the mouse of the look, previous, play, pause, stop, next buttons are visible and respond to left clicks as would be expected.
• The leftmost of the three buttons on the very right of the look toggles the foobar2000 window on left click, and shows the preferences window on right click.
• The second of the three buttons causes a color selection tray to pop out, with three bars for setting the hue, saturation, and value of the look. When a new color is chosen, the RGB values are shown in the foobar2000 console, which can then be placed in the look configuration to set a new default color.
• On the bottom right of the color tray there is a dark square which can be used to resize the look by clicking and dragging.
• The final button closes the look on left click, and closes foobar2000 on right click.

• Ability to resize the look.
• Hue/Saturation/Value bars.
• Time elapsed/Time remaining
• Advanced preset configuration
• Modular, reusable code.
• Bug-free (Hopefully)

width - Sets the default width of the look, must be greater than zero.

minwidth - Sets the minimum width of the look, so the resizer can't make the look disappear etc. Must be greater than zero as well.

minvolume - The minimum volume of the volume bar. Ranges between -100 and 0.

defaulttime - Whether the elapsed (defaulttime = 0) or the remaining time (defaulttime = 1) should be shown by default.

songspec - The formatting string used for the look.

• Updated colorbar, progressbar, volumebar, resize scripts.
• Use of semi-transparent sprites to create highlights and shadows.
• Song time sprite, using XOR logic to take both a preset and toggle into account (In a single line of code!)

DocUK . That is great. I have a fondness for this skin. I'm still using volume bar and progress bar from carbon firt version. This is one of the most popular skin on Polish foobar forum.

Thanks, feel free to use the updated versions of the scripts.

Any chance I could get a link to the Polish forum, so I can bask in the praise?

P.S. Помимо яндекса в этом форуме русские есть?

thank u so much docuk for releasing carbon 2.0 hehe

btw how can i change -0.00 so that it will always be 0.00?

also can u stretch out carbon 2.0? i can't find that dark square ur talking about

int defaulttime 1

int defaulttime 0

2. your download link doesn't work

On a side not to DocUK, your carbon skin is great but it needs the right click on skip button for random song ability

[Will be added in the next release, thanks for the suggestion.

hmm how can i make carbon keep the color that i want after closing and restarting foobar?

background_color = { r=0, g=28, b=107 }

@Hawk:  I have updated skin with your sugestion. Download Foopilot again.
Since I edited this post [Album info <-> Playlist] Is available only on this little button "[^]" on playlist.
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=224387"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

list scripts string {
"scrolltext[
overlap=25 step=1 pause=2 space=20 center=1 fontsize=8
spec=' :: $if(%artist%,%artist% - %title%,%_filename%) ::'
] "
}

@Hawk: find this part of code in foopilot.ski file:

Code: [Select]

list scripts string {<!--QuoteEBegin-->"scrolltext[<!--QuoteEBegin-->overlap=25 step=1 pause=2 space=20 center=1 fontsize=8<!--QuoteEBegin-->spec=' :: $if(%artist%,%artist% - %title%,%_filename%) ::'<!--QuoteEBegin-->] "<!--QuoteEBegin-->}

And then you can change step for example to 1.5 to speed up scrolling.
(You can change and save this file even when foobar is on  )

Your release note message here was also very useful, I learned now how to close Foobar and not the look.

Impressed with the color/hues changing mechanism you added in, although I love the classic Carbon colours - glad you left them in the script, so we can have the cool black look.

I managed to get the overall bar black, but not to get the progress bar crisp like the classic Carbon. A little reading and editing did the trick though.

Well done, sincere thanks.

Hi Guys!

Nice work all!!! Good work

only, the links is down in the topic start

I'd be interested to know what kind of reading materials you would find helpful

I am currently trying to put together some more documentation for foo_looks, but this is proving a tough job for just 1 guy.

If you let me know what kind of stuff you'd find most helpful it'd help me a lot

it seems my current tutorials are either too basic, or too reference-based.

..and possibly too few

this has probably already been answered/asked sometime during this thread, but i was wondering if someone could answer quickly without me having to leaf through all 18 pages. 

when i installed foo_looks, the regular foobar skin and the foolooks skin loaded on the screen (two foobar windows).  is that what foo_looks does?  should there only be the skin on the screen? 

please advice.

thanks for helping my silly newb self.

danZ' plan was to let the community continue to develop skins until we all agreed that there was a skin available that could completely replace the main UI. danZ has always said that it would be easy to make a small adjustment to foo_looks so that it completely replaced the main GUI.[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=225062"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

don't be afraid to ask... none of us bite [span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'](except anza perhaps )[/span][a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=225062"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

if you could have a script and then an explanation of what each line is or something like, it would be great

i probably could figure out what each line does if i took the time and researched hehe

i just don't have the right motivation yet or the time

The new graphics you and Dziuba are developing for it are very neat too, look forward to that future release. Thank you!

Can anyone please help me with this?  All foo looks do the same thing for me.

I have a radeon9800pro, running foobar 0.8.2 and the newest version of foolooks.

looks like another StyleXP user maybe

ok, try clicking inside that colored box and pressing F9

that's always the first step in debugging this problem
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=226704"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

That fixed my problem.. very odd

I'm not using StyleXP but I am using the UXTheme mulitpatcher.  Perhaps that had something to do with it

I made today very very little update. (By dano sugestion toggle [PL<->Album Info] is avitable from all PL unactive area now).

@Blitze. If you like this graphics (older one) I'll make few modes on foopilot when project will going to end. But now I focused on one version. This graphics is experimental, the older one is Dziuba original project and I moded it a little. But finall version will be look different I know. .

Regards Hadda

• How does the hiding toggle (typo in the skin tooltip:toggle not toogle) work? When it is hidden how do you bring it back?
• What's the standard for the album covers? What should the filename/type/size be?

• The playlist open close animation be faster/snappier.
• A little button for playback mode: Shuffle/Repeat/Repeat 1 etc.
• The ability to reorder the files in the playlist if I click the on little space to the left of the track number. When I click there a little thing might appear to indicate the title is being moved in the playlist.
• Could we also rename/remove playlist inside the Playlist of the skin (not through foobar)?
• I don't know if this is possible but a "Play Next" would be great. Click on a title and choose "Play Next" and that title will start at the end of the current song. Could this be made through the skin or a change in fb2k is necessary?

The requests I have is:

-(a) The playlist open close animation be faster/snappier.
-(b) A little button for playback mode: Shuffle/Repeat/Repeat 1 etc.
-© The ability to reorder the files in the playlist if I click the on little space to the left of the track number. When I click there a little thing might appear to indicate the title is being moved in the playlist.

What other changes are you planning?

Edit: I just realized that the http streams do not show up in the playlist for some reason.

Hi
a lot of user uses w98se or me

why don't let possible to run this great plug under windows98 and me?

maybe it would great another plug with no so nice feature but able to run under w98&me

foobar is a awesome player that doesn't need too many resourse so everybody can use foobar ...

yeah i knowe why it can run underw98&me ....but maybe a second skin plug with less features would be the best solution
