musicmusic, can you make status bar bg color, same as windows 3D object color, just like status pane is?

Columns UI

Does anyone know if it's possible to set different background colors for each "Item Details" panel?  Right now I change the background through File>Preferences>Display>ColumnsUI>Colours and Fonts, but that changes the background color of all the "Item Details" panels in my layout.

Hi, is there a simple way in ColumnsUI to choose a distinct color for the currently playing file (what was called "playback marker" in default earlier versions before the option was taken out for no apparent reason) ?

Yup yup: Title Formatting

Use %isplaying% and $rgb().

That's as simple as it gets, unfortunately. And yeah, it affects only the playing track.

If you're looking for an in depth guide this definitely counts: http://brother-john.net/tagz/tagz-intro.html

if you want to cut to the chase this is the specific bit of code you want:

$if(%isplaying%,$rgb(90,90,90)%title%,)

And the short answer I found:

Quote from: s33m33 on
Paste following script in CUI Globals under the STYLE tab:

$if(%isplaying%,$set_style(text,$rgb(255,255,150)),)

You can change RGB to your taste.


@unclean posted at the same time, but thanks for the efforts nevertheless
... however your code doesn't work (on ver 1.0), it might lack some function or reference. I'm really not going to stay around to find out

PS What a strange concept that one would have to learn coding in order to change basic colors in playlists, or that the devs would develop an ad-hoc programming environment rather than put in a couple more buttons. Luckily, they did not take the same approach in regard to implementing ASIO

Could it be possible to add a tag that returns the name of the active layout preset?

it is very annoying to me that the search function of the filter panel more or less immediatly starts the search when you start typing. if you have a larger collection whole foobar stalls while searching for one letter. is there a way to set the latency higher or to set the minimum length of a search string?

I think I found a bug. If "Resume playback after restarting foobar2000" is enabled the and the file that was playing and the other files on the playlist are removed then after restarting the gui is unresponsive, cpu usage goes up to 100% and foobar tries to open the other files but not sequentially, often jumping back and forth between the playlist items. After a while foobar hangs completely, I have to kill its task. With default IU, this does not happen, the cpu usage stays low, I can stop foobar from trying to open the other files with the stop button and there is no jumping back and forth.

Edit:
I didn't think about disabling the panels first... With only playlist switcher, and NG Playlist only the jumping back and forth thing happens and that might be a foobar problem.

musicmusic, can you assist here

I can reset my config then create everything from scratch, but something is probably wrong, as I can't make changes to Layout nor create new Layout preset

^ for the record: I tracked down foo_uie_bookmarks

Would it be possible to add the option for the Artwork View panel to display the image preserving the aspect ratio, but removing the edges of image if needed to prevent the background of the panel to be visible?

For instance, if I have an art image with dimensions of 500x500 and the panel's dimensions are 640x480, the image should be zoomed in to 640x640 and the only part of the artwork displayed would be 640x480 (top and bottom 80px would be hidden).

First, I'd like to thank CoumnsUI's author for providing such customizable interface. I've been using it for long time, and here's a list of feature suggestions I'd like to discuss before (maybe) posting them to wiki:
  • Artwork view
    • ability to combine Artwork view with Item Details view, using artwork image as background for Item Details panel
    • provide several customizable actions for mouse events, especially opening image in external program (suitable for doubleclick), cycling to another image (for example with mouse wheel), ability to disable current switching of artwork type on left click (inspired by now discontinued foo_uie_albumart plugin)
  • customize indent distance (it seems rather large for items in groups (not groups themselves) while it could be zero if user uses color to distinguish between items and groups)
  • customize group line color (maybe use last color setting from group script?)
  • ability to add borders around splitters, for further visual perfection (e.g. then it'd be possible to create toolbars as panels, which will look identical to regular toolbars with borders)
  • maybe oscilloscope vis like in Default UI? I think its more informative (especially on sound effects like distortion), plus looks more 'techy' in my opinion

So this is list which I accumulated during long period of use, and while I don't expect author to agree with me in all points, I'd like to hear any comments on these ideas

This may have been posted, if so sorry, I have not been keeping up with columns ui topics. Whenever I have a Item Properties panel and I right-click and select Tracking Mode -> Current selection I get no info in the Item Properties panel. I assume that this would show the info on the item I am selecting.

Columns UI

Item Properties panel shows multi-value fields values sorted alphabetically instead as their actual order in tag
Maybe it should be corrected

I've just updated from an ancient version of CUI to the latest, and suddenly I have this "bar" in my foobar config:

How can I remove this? I've had a look in the options, but I can't see anything..

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the formatting for the Filter field under Columns UI to sort my dates by descending instead of what I have now. Take a look at the screen shot below.



I've tried adding SORT DESCENDING BY "" to both the Field and Behaviour Sections of the Filter Tab on my Date Added filter, but to no avail.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In Preferences click Columns UI look for the Status Bar tab. There should be a tick box that says "Show status bar". Un-tick it. Then Apply/Okay and you're all set.

It is already unticked, if I tick it, it adds an additional status bar below that one.

Then it has to do with the "skin" you applied. I'd look under the other UIs you have installed and make sure they don't have a Status bar as well. I can tell you that it's not Columns UI causing it.
