unabatedshagie - i'm not really using it in my main foobar, only testing it for time being. my testing foobar looks like this right now:



Squeller - you can put the old track info panel or the mod (and rename it's dll) back and recover these settings. the new version (as mentioned in the readme and in my previous post) is distinct from the old one and doesn't take over its settings.

as for images - well 32-bit pngs with alpha channel work here, i think that bmps with 256-color palette should work too. imho what you're experiencing is that refresh / update problem i've mentioned. try using the formatting snippet i've posted above.

$alignabs(0,0,%_width%,%_height%,left,top)
$font(Lucida Sans Unicode,30,bold,224-223-227)Back

$alignabs(0,0,%_width%,%_height%,right,top)
$font(Lucida Sans Unicode,30,bold,224-223-227)ground


$alignabs(0,20,%_width%,%_height%,center,top)
$font(Lucida Sans Unicode,15,boldglow-,)$rgb(255,255,255)Foreground

Is it perhaps because the length of the text to be shown expands the Panel's size ...

first of all, there should be some sort of %_width% and %_height% which respect padding (and any parent frame like when using $alignabs).

when using $drawrect with 0 for width or height, it gets substituted for the maximal value respecting padding. imho this could make some things harder to make (see my progress bar example), as you can't draw with one dimension set to zero and expect it not to draw ... i think that zero should mean no width or height. you can substitute only missing parameters (i.e. not $drawrect(,,0,0,something), but $drawrect(,,,,something)).

another issue with $drawrect is that when using alpha blending by alpha-number like $drawrect(,,,,pencolor-0-0-0 alpha-80), it uses only pencolor to draw the rectangle. i would expect it to draw the rectangle as normal with both pencolor and brushcolor. or - to use brushcolor.

i really like that we can use system colors now, and i would like to see some other changes to the color system. for example when given only one value (like brushcolor-50 or $font(,,,50)) to interpret it as gray color (i.e. expand it to 50-50-50). also specifying alpha value as 4th color component would be nice (brushcolor-255-0-0-100).

padding. imho it should be relative to the actual frame. what i mean is that after using $alignabs to create new frame for text, $padding or $drawrect imho should relate to this frame. like $alignabs(10,10,10,10)$padding(1,1)$drawrect(,,,,brushcolor-0-0-0) should be the same as $drawrect(11,11,8,8,brushcolor-0-0-0). maybe you could add something like $drawrectabs.

anyway, sorry for my whining and *thank you* for this great plugin. p.s. i would like to be able to draw that progressbar for playing item in your foo_uie_single_column_playlist .

@terrestrial:
I know its unofficial, YET ... but:

Code: [Select]

$put(Title,%title%(#LINEHEIGHT,5#)$char(10)%title% )

like you said to do, is not working as expected...!!

$put(Title,%title%'#LINEHEIGHT,5#'$char(10)%title%)

Here's a fresh idea: Clickable items that can be assigned to foo_run or standard foobar actions. I have programmed a little alert image to show if the tags aren't complete - clicking this image could bring up the properties dialog (I have this on shortcut anyway but it's a neat idea).

I want to find out whether the full path contains a specific folder and then assign an image to show depending on the result. So if it's in the "to burn" folder, show a nero image for instance. The code I use is basically:

Code: [Select]

$if($strstr(%path%, 'burn'), YES, NO)

But this doesn't work.

$if($strstr(%path%, 'k'), $imageabs(10,10,images/star-1.png,),)

FofR: have you tried removing the space in your $strstr() statement because I think it's being processed as part of the string to search for.

hey. is there anyway to change the shadow color? when i use the option it only lets me use a black shadow
