I've been struggling for a long time with random crashes while being in the Layout when adding, removing, copying and moving panels.
I have reviewed every crash submitted where Columns UI 3.0.0 alpha 3 was the UI. Apart from one, seemingly relating to a bug on Windows 8.1, they are all caused by other components or factors. If you don't know which component is causing your crashes, then I'd start a new thread containing the crash reports.

I don't have sudden crashes when running fooBar.
I'm referring to crashes while juggling around in Layout mode. Those crashes are direct and do not create crash reports.

Also it has nothing todo with 3.0.0 as such. Crashes were there in 2.1.0 and they are still there in 3.0.0.

I use a lot of splitters/panels. Splitters are either Panel Stack Splitter or JSplitter. FCL is some 2250MB, it contains 160 elements.

EDIT: Enable the logging folder. Loaded current FCL without first destroying the layout, which resulted in the expected instant crash. I have dumpfiles which I attached.

For ex. which one do you think looks better?
In this case the first.

I do something similar.
I have a standard routine that paints all panels/bars with a dark/transparant top bezel, an accent under the bezel and around the outer parts and a blur/meshed image of the cover of the playing track inside with a gradient inside on top of the mesh/blur. All are optional.

The alpha of the blur/mesh can be set by user for the bars and separate panels.

On top of the resulting paint, art for the current playing artist can be displayed (namelogo / bandlogo / flag / recordlabel / artistpic / cover /genrelogo). In the end the plugin will be run in this in transparent mode. Text in these plugins use dropshadows to stand out.

In the included screenshots (I added separation between bars/panels and padding inside the panels to make it stand out a bit more) you can see it works well as long as the cover is not too bright. Of course you can tone down the alpha by clicking some buttons but in that case the darker cover based mesh/blur just fades in the background.

Since pretty much everything is TF based I have no clue yet how to get something like a number that represents the brightness of the cover so I can adjust the alpha to use for this particular cover based blur/mesh.
But first things first what methods are available in JSplitter/SMP or JSP3 (I checked all the docs but found nothing) to get such a number?

Okay, so no errors in that console log.

The question about whether it happens in a portable installation was a request to try a portable installation and see if you can reproduce it there. That will establish whether the problem is specific to your main foobar2000 profile or if it's something external to foobar2000 like the Windows configuration.

If it doesn't happen with a portable installation, then send me the foo_ui_columns.cfg from your normal foobar2000 profile.

Looking at their github - looks like an abandoned project.
Last update of ohPlayer - 4 years ago. ohPipeline - a few minor changes already year ago.

I wouldn't go today into serious investments with this standard.

Thanks for spotting this out, anyway!

@musicmusic

I'm using fooBar 32bit.

I've been struggling for a long time with random crashes while being in the Layout when adding, removing, copying and moving panels.
Best approach is to do one step at a time and saving/exiting fooBar when successful and then repeat.

Same kind of crashes happen when loading a FCL.
Best approach there is delete the whole tree underneath top splitter. Exit fooBar, restart, go to Preferences and load the FCL.
If it still crashes, just rinse and repeat until it works.

Last issue is that sometimes some splitters with everything underneath are not loaded.
Best approach to solve it to switch positions of the main splitters. Then it mostly works.

Are these known problems?

I was/am hoping these issues will be a thing of the past with 3.0.0 but until now the 3.0.0 builds have the same behavior.

I also have a small request. Is it possible to show besides the nature/type of the splitters, panels and plugins also the names they have in the skin while being in Preferences/Columns UI/Layout?

Thanks

I want to change the font from Segoe UI (Image 1) to Arial (Image 2), for example, and it doesn't apply it, it stays in Segoe UI. As you can see the font does not change. This happens with many other fonts. See for yourself.

Of course, I am using Playlist view
@josemescud It falls back to the default DirectWrite font (which is either Segoe UI or Segoe UI Variable) if there's an error using the configured font (rather than displaying nothing). However, it's not clear that that's what's happening.

I have lots of questions but I'll start with these:

Are there any errors in the console?
Does it happen with a clean portable installation (with Columns UI installed)?
Do the fonts and styles look correct in the Font family and Font style drop-downs when they are expanded?

Ok, exposed the background submenu too. So now playing/follow selection and source for artwork can be set too.

Since all options are now exposed, as result it's also possible now to set the artwork as background like any other of my scripts, by disabling the slider background color first, even if it makes zero sense xd

Also adjusted the dynamic colors logic, to tweak the colors a bit if they are not saturated enough or too similar in some cases. Should look much better now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't see anything more to do here. Consider it the final version, unless there is some bug.

I'm trying to add some functionality to the original seekbar from the samples.

I added PlayOrPause to rightclick so you can start playing, pause or resume playing. Works.
I added some changes in the display of the TIME/seekbar stuff when width is limited. Also works.

I added hover on TIME/seekbar so the alpha goes up when being over the seekbar with the mouse. Works well too when playing. But not when paused or stopped.
While playing it uses the callback on_mouse_move to set the alpha, but this callback does not seem to be triggered when paused/stopped.
Checked all the docs, tried a lot but cannot activate the hover when paused/stopped.

Is there another callback I should use? Or does it require changes in seekbar.js?
Nevermind. I figured it out. It was the latter and a bit of the first.

Seekbar overhauled. Managed to figure it out by reverse engineering.

1.28   2025-01-23

SEEKBAR
Hover is working whether Playing, Paused or Stopped. Tooltips show relevant info always.

Playing            GotoLeftClickPosition   SlideToPosition         * GotoRightClickPosition+Pause      * SlideToPosition+Pause      SlideStepped
Paused            GotoLeftClickPosition   SlideToPosition         * GotoRightClickPosition+Play      * SlideToPosition+Play      SlideStepped
Stopped            * Play from Start      * Play from Start      * Play from Start               * Play from Start         NoAction

Stream Stopped      * Play               * Play               * Play                        * Play                  NoAction

* new functionality


Added blur_ovl, when on_blur is enabled paints dark overlay on top of blurred image with opacity blur_ovl. Default 120.

I wanted the same functionality for the Wave MiniBAR, but apparently it was/is a bad idea :-)
