Did I miss something or we can't put panels horizontally anymore, I mean on the top of the window instead of the sidebar ? It wouldn't really be of any use without foo_tabs but I'm worried anyway

Well I would do that but I only see Columns Playlist in there, but again I might miss something.

My OS is windows 2000 and therefore I have been using windowblinds 4.6 with .83 and Columns UI for quite some time, and everything in foobar is skinned perfectly.  I recently tried using .9 and the new Columns UI with windowblinds and only a portion of foobar is skinned (none of the toolbar or grey background).  I switched .9 to the default display and everthing was skinned fine so it appears to be caused by the new Columns UI.  Did something change in the new Columns which makes it unable to be totally skined with Windowblinds.  Any work around?

Press the rightmouse button and check the horizontal or vertical splitter. And press rightmouse button again on the splitter

Oh, right, thank you. I'd like to note that a small message somewhere to say "rightclick you dumbass" would help

Columns UI pre-alpha17v6 released. This uses GDI+ to render the volume control "channel" anti-aliased. On Windows 2000, it should fallback to GDI if the gdiplus redistributable is not installed, please report back if it gives problems. The redistributable for Windows 2000 users is available here if you want it (its not required). Put the gdiplus.dll in the foobar2000 directory.

Album list panel 0.2.1 beta 2 also released.

Only workaround is.. to not use WindowBlinds  As I understand, WindowBlinds is a hack, and so its no surprise it doesn't work.

That would explain some things, thx for the hint. Maybe a good point for a faq or a wiki.

edit: that was it, it looks all nice now

not exactly accurate.. wb is a very good skinning system, with its own api or whatever you call it it uses as a replacement for the standard winXP skinning features..
anyway, my point was that it skins just fine here.. so i'm not really sure what his point is (using wXP sp2 obviously)

anyway no.2: what's changed in albumlistpanel that you updated it?

Can you point me to the documentation for this API it exposes on Windows 2000?

I remember one of their old claims: "Themes controls that aren't themed by Windows XP themes". In other words, they somehow applied themes to applications not using Common Controls 6.

Thanks musicmusic, ColumnsUI still rocks !!!   

The panels seem to be without any padding, so in my case (menu in its row, then horiz. splitter with buttons, seekbar and spec, then tabs, then playlistview) each panel (of toolbar for instance) is quite close to its neighbour - the panels at the outer side are even directly next to the foobar-window-border.

It's still a bit to narrow IMHO, a small amount of padding  - some pixel room like in the foobar2000-standard-UI - would be more pleasant..

BTW, just for interest, why does the standard-UI-toolbar and the Columns-UI-panels have a different background-color (Royale/EnergyBlue-Theme here)?

I think I've suggested this before, but not elaborately.

It would be nice if you had the option to add horizontal and/or vertical seperators to the columns ui layout. What I mean by that is, the anchors/seperators you see in the FB2K toolbar that reside between the buttons, volume bar, file menu, seek panel, tab panel, album art, etc. If implemented they could also act as anchors that resize panels when not in "locked" mode which would make things just a bit easier in the columns ui department.

When you add panels with columns ui, even if that panel is a toolbar, you lose that separator and functionality. Aside from unported plugins, its the only thing holding me back from 0.9

I can't keep up with these updates ... you need an RSS feed, musicmusic.

Where there any changes to the album list panel? (I didn't notice any.)

If I use a custom button image on one of my buttons, the default images on all the other buttons are no longer displayed.

Only bug I've been able to find musicmusic, keep up the great work!

thanks musicmusic!!!!!

just one question: custom sorting for tree items gone?

in 0.8.3 I used:

VIEW:
$upper(%artist%)|'['$right($replace(%date%,3000,CP),2)']'  [$caps2(%album%)]  '('%composer%')'

CUSTOM TREE SORTING:
[%sort_artist%]$if($stricmp($left($trim($if2(%album artist%,%artist%)),4),the ),$right($trim($if2(%album artist%,%artist%)),$sub($len($trim($if2(%album artist%,%artist%))),4)),$trim($if2(%album artist%,%artist%)))$upper(%artist%)|'['%date%']'  [%sort%][%album%]

...set up the latest album list panel for colors, fonts...

On mine, it's preferences > album list panel > advanced tab.

A suggestion for the "Meta field to edit" feature (which was pointed out in the infobox thread).

Could there be an option to provide a Windows style text-field/drop-down box when you go to edit a field? The dropdown box could provide a list of, say, artists in the database to choose from. (To stop you from having multiple spellings for, say, Guns n' Roses).

Right now, pressing F2 is the only way I can edit fields. Maybe triple click or something else could work also?

What is the simpliest way to change the background color for the current playing track without having that long default style definition?
