I haven't posted here in a long time, and my oh my how much has changed.  I really hope that terrestrial's project isn't dead here, as the latest beta is really very good.  I'm only up to page 78 in this thread (got a lot of catching up to do), but I've searched through about the $calcwidth() problem, and didn't find a solution.  So here's what I managed to figure out -

$calcwidth() is based on a 12 point font for letters, and an 11 point font for numbers, as near as I can tell.  It seems to ignore $font() statements altogether, so I really have no idea what font it is basing this on.  But I'm using Calibri in my setup, and it's spot on.  I tested it with %album% and %date% and those numbers seem to work out.

In order to scale this correctly for your size font, do -

for letters in a 14 point font for example -
$eval(14*$calcwidth(string)/12)

for numbers in a 14 point font -
$eval(14*$calcwidth(numbers)/11)

This is pretty close to exact in my testing, even for very long titles.  Hope it helps someone else out too!

I put every $font(...) in an extra $puts(fontX,$font(...))

When i use $calcwidth($get(fontX) %somedata%) it calculates the width all well.

That's a shame. Version 13.9 is very stable. (the one linked to in the first post)

It's the last beta version (0.14.12) that could be really problematic.
Heck, even the 0.14.9 "beta" version I recommend with my config is stable.

Maybe the Problematic Components list should be amended with this note.

Are you using 0.14.12 beta?  I just tried this and it doesn't work.  In fact, it takes the $font(...) that is referenced by $get(fontX) as a literal string and calculates the width of the whole thing.

You can mark Panels UI as "problematic", but I don't think that this will affect the popularity one of the most incredible component since Columns UI

Buoy. People sure misunderstand what "Known Problematic Component" means...

I didn't see post where terrestrial explains development is stopped. I've only seen a rude discussion with Fusion. How do you know development is over ?

If it's the case, it's a shame, this plugin was the one which gave Foobar2000 something special... Everybody was able to customize appearance as they wanted.
Hope someone will create a new great interface.

ps: yes, this plugin is surely buggy, but it allows a very great personalization.

Button to play a particular file.

I have the path of the track which was playing when Foobar was closed stored in a PVAR; what is the easiest way to get a button to play that track so I can restart it, if I want, when I re-open Foobar?

you could also use the option "resume playback after restart" in the prefences.

No. Right mouse click on playlist and choose 'Settings...'. Then look at the left down corner, there is an option called 'Transparent Background', check it.

provided you are using SCPL. You can't make columns UI playlist transparent at all.

No such post was made. terrestrial hasn't been on Hydrogenaudio since the 25th of July, according to his profile. No new builds of foo_ui_panels have emerged. How long should one wait before concluding he's not developing this component any longer?

I would have loved to see him fix the problems the developers pointed out. Then it might have been possible to have a foo_ui_panels that was both sanely designed and configurable. I suppose things didn't work out so amicably.

I've got "resume playback after restart" checked but it doesn't work!

"resume playback after restart" only "works" if you shut foobar down while it's playing.
If you want it to play every time you start, then you need to add the /play command line switch to your shortcut you launch foobar with.

Example:
Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe" /command:play

I have a problem with transparent backgrounds of buttons.

Have a look at this screenshot:



The background of the white rating stars turns black allthough I made everything transparent.


This is the Code I'm using for rating on that part:

Code: [Select]
$ifequal($get(ratingsys),0,,

$imageabs2(,316,,,,,188,,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\%rating%s1.png,)

$button(188,146,0,0,0,0,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\star-blank.png,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\$ifgreater(%rating%,0,star-black.png,star.png),$ifequal(%rating%,1,TAG:SET:rating:0,TAG:SET:rating:1),)
$button(214,146,0,0,0,0,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\star-blank.png,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\$ifgreater(%rating%,1,star-black.png,star.png),TAG:SET:rating:2,)
$button(240,146,0,0,0,0,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\star-blank.png,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\$ifgreater(%rating%,2,star-black.png,star.png),TAG:SET:rating:3,)
$button(266,146,0,0,0,0,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\star-blank.png,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\$ifgreater(%rating%,3,star-black.png,star.png),TAG:SET:rating:4,)
$button(292,146,0,0,0,0,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\star-blank.png,/images\StefankaInspiriat\rating\$ifgreater(%rating%,4,star-black.png,star.png),TAG:SET:rating:5,))


Can anyone give me a hint to solve this problem?

use the 'nobkgnd' option !

The 'nobkgnd' option only works on vista with the $glass() function.

Just make sure your buttons are topmost in the // PerTrack header, make sure they are .png WITH transparency enabled, and make sure they don't overlap other buttons.

If none of that works, I'm not sure how to help you.

@Keikonium : hsn is using $glass on Vista ... look at his screenshot, top screen info is transparent and let show the desktop wallpaper

@hsn : So, let's see other ways (keep the nobkgnd option active!) :

- which version of PanelsUI are you using?
- is the background of your .png stars transparent ??
- make sure there is no text emplacement that cross over the position of your stars ...

I'm using the same technic but it works fine for me :



Send me your .png (stars + bg black image only) and the .pui, i'll check what's wrong and i'll try to correct it ...
