Default button image paths? (to use in $button() )

In my config I have a buttons panel (default) at the bottom of the PUI like so:

As you can see this is the default buttons panel, and even when you add a new button, you are limited in what you can set it to do.

I want to replace this buttons panel with a track display that is identical in looks, and has all of the same buttons on it (using $button() ), but I want to add a few more custom buttons (again using $button() ); one that will toggle between 'playlist', and 'now playing' layouts, one that will toggle between normal mode and mini mode, a search button, and a menu button.

In the $button() function, where you have to specify the 'image', and 'hover image' paths I need to specify the image paths of those default buttons shown above, but the problem is, I looked everywhere in the foobar directory, and the images were nowhere to be found, so what exactly are the image paths?

Thanks

Those icons are located within the foo_ui_std.dll file that is in your componets directory.

You could extract them using a program, for example Restorator 2007 works extremely well for that purpose.

Sorry, this isn't really to do with the original subject, but is to do with file paths:

What is the field that returns the foobar directory, something like %_foobar%?

So Instead of writing 'C:\Program files\foobar2000\images*.jpg' I can just write '%_foobar%\Images\*.jpg'. I couldn't find it anywhre on the wikis.

Thanks

I just use this:

$button(,,,,,,/images\button.png,/images\buttonhover.png,BUTTON)

Replacing button, of course with whatever applies... 

As long as your button images are in the PanelsUI\YOURDIRECTORY\images  folder, you can just use /images\

Yes?

Ahh so the images have to be in the Panels UI directory, and not just the foobar2000 directory? I see. Thanks again.

In my case, I just use $put() and $get():

Code: [Select]
$puts(dir,'C:\Documents and Settings\**USERNAME**\Application Data\foobar2000')


Then when I want to use the directory I just do this:

Code: [Select]
$button(,,,,,,$get(dir)\button.png,$get(dir)\buttonhover.png,BUTTON)

(borrowed Maranatha's code example  )

And if you want directories INSIDE that that one, I just add something like "$get(dir)\buttons\images\toolbar\buttonhover.png" or something like that .
