I tried the new 0.14.12 Beta version, but the fonts looks strange. What's wrong? 

Version 0.13.8


Version 0.14.12

What's wrong, is that it's a beta. Read the changelog when you install experimental releases.
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

0.13.8 is also Beta

to eisteh: yes, I enabled the new syntax. I also tried only $font(Calibri,14,bold). No glowing, no other special effects.

you can always go to the effects settings and create the effect you want for your fonts there. then you can just copy the code from there.
i also have 0.14.12 and it works perfect.

I just realised that I don't actually use any of the latest additions to the newer releases of Panels and think I might actually move back to a more stable release. Does anyone know the last version that had 'Always On Top' working? That is the one piece of functionality I'm really missing at the moment.

For that matter, has 'always on top' ever been working?


The version I'm using has it and it seems to work fine although I don't use it all the time. I use v13.6 for the "hide title bar". Its so much easier to click that to resize a window than changing it in the code everytime. It also seems to use a touch less memory



can you share it?
I can't live without the option always on top.

HI everyone. Recently i have been having some weird behaviors with foobar. I am not sure it comes from Panels UI, but as it is a window drawing problem i thought i would ask here first if someone had the same problem in order to figure it out.

After some time playing foobar, the window get suddenly drawn a second time on the left of my screen (position 0,0) but only the background. From that moment on the real foobar window stop working correctly and drawing itself correctly, i need to restart foobar for it to goes back to normal.
I use the very last beta of PanelsUI and it happens either with complete newsyntax or not. One friend of mine have been experiencing the same problem so it suggests it has to do with one of the plugins i use. I would like to know if someone else experiences it so we can figure out where it comes from.

It is not really to figure it out on my own by eliminating every plugin cause it happens quite randomly after listening for a while.

Carmen, are you using playlist tree? I noticed that my config used to keep getting redrawn after I'd started PL tree and I had it set to automatically refresh queries. I'm not sure if that is what is happening with you though.

Foreword:
I have little idea about how titleformatting works within Panels UI or foobar2000 and whether Panels UI uses its own interpreter, nevertheless script execution seems to be quite slow, especially when you use some eye-candy setups like fofR.

Hence the question:
Are titleformatting scripts (pseudo)compiled before actual execution? Just thought it may speed up a process a bit, instead of constantly interpreting them.

I agree, PanelsUI is way too performance-hogging. I put a few images in it, and resizing takes forever now.

Make a button for it, the command is "Exit"

In previous post I mean this command.
When I click this button, popup window get closed with main foobar window.
(foobar have hided titlebar)

Just as a reminder: Panels UI redraws as often as VBR bitrate refresh is set, if playing a vbr track AND using PerSecond.
I think it's very important to keep this in mind. IMO there should be even a hint in the first posting, because if people can afford not having a high vbr refresh, they can speed up their PanelsUI drastically.

Thanks for suggestions.
I had my VBR setting set at 2. Changing it to 1 didn't seem to imporove thigns and scrolling playlist is still a very painfully slow operation (on my Core Duo!) At the end of the day it's just a 2D graphics. Web browsers nowerdays show Flash, scripts, DHTML, image scaling and other things pretty fast so I believe there should be a way of improving Panels UI performance somehow.
Great plugin, nevertheless!

In new $imagebutton() function it seems that hover images are not displayed correctcly (I get them truncated) when you do not specify the normal image.
How do you change foobar2000 icon on taskbar? I tried it from Columns UI config, but with no luck. New icon gets added to taskbar, but it does not replace the default fb2k icon and dissapears as soon as you hoover your mouse over it.

Thats not PanelsUI fault. I have no issues with memory hogging with my config. I have a background image using transparency, images as borders and the album art and I no scrolling issues either. If I add say the new channell spectrum thing it adds 5mb of memory usage(what a waste). The bottom line is that it really doesn't add much for what it does. The config and other plugins could be to blame for your problems
I have a few plugins for dts, dsp and some others and my foo uses  3,008k when mimimized and 6,852 when open. Fofr's config with my plugins pushes usage up to 20,000kb!!!!
I'm using version 13.6 by the way

Setting to a lower number like 1 makes it refresh more often. The number should be set higher ie. 5

Changing the icon in ColumnsUI will only work if you are using ColumnsUI as your display method. If you are using PanelsUI you can use a program called Resource Hacker

I'm not mentioning anything about memory. I use mages for background, and with these applied, resizing is stuttering. Changing VBR rate has no impact on this, and it looks to me like a bad performing render-engine or maybe script-parser.

A good friend of mine has nailed Quake2 completely on P90 with 32mb of RAM.. He was saying it was 'not FAST, but OK'
For me PanelsUI is slow. I see it unreasonable that on a Core Duo 1.8Ghz CPU a simple 2D scrolling (even scripted) takes 0.5 sec for an update.
I could post a screenshot of what does my setup look like (modified fofR). But, acutally, a better idea would be to implement some sort of a timerefresh function equivalent in Panels UI just to have a common testing base when discussing performance issues like that. Otherwise it all depends on one's perception of FAST and SLOW, of course.

No, the setting is called "VBR bitrate updates per second", so a higher setting gives more updates. At least potentially, since the number of updates reported by the decoder is still limited by the number of bitrate changes in the actual file.
