Pack as a .zip file, ohyeah?
Hey thanks a lot for catching this! Turns out hitting Enter to submit crashes the app - Never occurred to me to try that before. Quick fix for now: just click outside the input field instead. I'll fix it in the next update. Really appreciate the screen recording - super helpful!

ESLyric v1.0.2.0
Do you intend to restore (pseudo-)transparency support?
I think very few people would use this feature.
To clarify.

Last year I had to let go of LSP3 because in combination with multisource 32bit it crashed foobar.
After some experimenting and adjusting I ended up with ESlyrics 0.5.4.1028 beta which perfectly fitted (and still does) the things I like and need in a plugin (transparency) and as a result works perfectly in harmony with the background/art system I created and I'll describe below.

In my skin I control all panels and all button bars from PSS. In PSS I have a standardized routine I use for painting all of these elements in the skin (all controlled by some buttons):

1) Paint optional shadow bezel
2) Paint optional accent color
3) Paint optional blur (two different levels) based on current cover
4) Paint optional gradient

All are optional and all can be combined.

For the panels with a single PSS button you can select what art to display on top of this painted background:

1) No art
2) Logo 1 (NameLogo based on artist - more horizontal logo)
3) Logo 2 (BandLogo based on artist - more square logo)
4) Artist country flag
5) Recordlabel Logo
6) Genre logo
7) Artist picture
8) Cover
9) Personal selectable fixed logo/picture not artist related

In case of streams I deviate a bit from the above, 4, 5 and 8 are replaced by stream station related logo's/images.

This all works fine but needs a lot of code to sanitize tags for trackartist, artist, albumartist. For streams a whole lot more code needed to be added. All in all roughly 40K code to sanitize relevant tags and get the right art.
With the current state of your plugin I can use 8 and 9 at best (and that is without without painting the background I want).
Pretty much all plugins I use offer no art or just the cover as background, but one of those displayed is enough for me and the one I use for the cover is responding to a mousewheel to change between the different art displays I offer.


On a couple of occasions (first one on 2024-06-30) I expressed my disappointment that you decided to let go of transparency support.

Now when it seems imminent current version is maturing I want to take the time to express my humble request to reconsider bringing back transparency support as it was in 0.5. Even with modern DX12 plugins (like foo_vis_vumeter) transparency can be supported.

I took the time to compose this post since it is important to me and I don't want to end up with yet another dinosaur plugin (being 0.5.4.1028) I use that has no future support.

A small video highlighting ESlyrics 0.5 in combination with my art system is attached.

I do hope you reconsider and reinstate transparency support.

Pseudo-transparency might still be used under PSS, but there probably aren't many other scenarios where it's applicable now. PSS hasn't been updated for a long time, and I hardly ever use it anyway.

PSS is what I have chosen.

The same issue applies when running ESlyrics from a more modern splitter that supports transparency like JSplitter, which I also use.
Point is that the standard solid background or just the cover as a background is not much use imo.

Can you provide a configuration that uses JSplitter and requires a transparent background?

Has anyone else noticed that in the recent versions of ESLyric that the image briefly flickers black (or blank) when switching tracks?

So when switching to a new track it will go...

It turns out it was from using fb.PlaybackLength <= 0. In fact, both versions were doing this. At first I thought 0.5.4.1028 was ammune. I don't want Lyrics showing when streaming occurs, which is why I use it. I came up with another way to handle that.

HOWEVER, I do still get a very brief blank screen ONLY on the "later versions" when pressing stop. The way I have it programmed is if stop occurs, Lyrics (which does not show artwork when stopped) is replaced by another artwork script. But there is a momentary blank screen in between this transition. 0.5.4.1028 does not have this minor issue.

It would be nice if ESLyric would have the option of showing only the artwork when stopped. I believe it would be simple option to add.

Stopping playback is different from pausing playback. If you want to display an image when stopping playback, you can add a default image or a custom image + check Always show background. When pausing playback, the image is displayed normally. If you want to go further, you can try layout.

@always.beta :  since updating to 1.0.2.0 (but also present in 1.0.1.8 ) I have noticed that lyric returns from the genius.js searcher have begun including lines at the top of the lyrics text panel that refer to # of "contributors" and occasionally notes about the song itself.  This is present on EVERY SONG.  Is there a way to pre-trim these out?  Two examples, spare and "verbose":

Words like violence break the silence
Come crashing in into my little world

Words are very unnecessary

Pleasures remain, so does the pain

You can try to write a js script parser, remove the part without timestamp or process the lyrics to see if there are common features. I don't know how to program, so I don't know if the above method can meet your requirements. I remember someone discussed it before, and there is no option to remove it by default.

Thanks always.beta for commenting.  I don't know how to program either so we are in the same boat there.  Hopefully, TT who wrote the original searcher will post a method.

Sure. But in what form?

Can I send/attach a simple FCL?
This will require fooBar x86 (2.24.3)., Columns UI (3,0 beta 6), JSplitter (3.6.1.14) on your end.

Or do you need a complete portable?

A complete portable compressed package. Reduce the workload of both sides.

I created a portable based on 2.24.3.

Components are Columns UI 3.0 beta 6, Jsplitter 3.6.1.14, Panel Stack Splitter 0.3.8.3, VUmeter 0.10.14 and ESLyric 0.5.4.1028.
Everything is set to transparency and VUmeter loads a transparent skin.

The PSS panel paints a background with a gradient and has a button to display different art while playing underneath ESlyric and VUmeter.
Everything works like I have it in my skin and is what I would like to achieve with ESLyric 1.0.

Furthermore there are two JSplitters. Both also paint a background with a gradient. One has ESLyric and the other one has VUmeter.
VUmeter is transparent and functions exactly the same as in the PSS.
ESlyric has been set to pseudo-transparent, but is NOT displayed transparent (also makes a bit of a mess when running).

The moment I update ESlyric to 1.0 transparency is lost in the ESlyric PSS.
Of course also the ESLyric JSplitter has no transparency. The text display itself however is a little bit better than 0.5.

Hope this portable helps ...

EDIT: I also attached a screenshot of the full skin running 2x ESLyric 0.5 on a transparent (blurred) background and art underneath. Looks a bit better than all the pink stuff.

To be honest, the transparent background shown in the screenshot above does not attract me. The layout function + dynamic blur is more attractive in terms of overall UI coordination and the readability of the lyrics.
Of course, it depends on whether the above example attracts the author of ESLyric.

If you use JSplitter, you can take a look at [Default UI theme] foobox.

It was not meant to be attractive :-) Just to be very clear which parts are backgrounds, gradients and art that I paint as a background underneath a transparent plugin/component. I guess the pink got your attention.

Also this portable is only 17MB, The skin where I actually use the same methods would be more than 1.5GB including art.

Nice layout you made. I have made something similar using JS3 components. With some button presses I can change the layout of the skin to have a very similar look to yours.
