Spyde Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere, although you'd think it would be pretty easy. I'm customizing my playlist and I want to change the background color of certain parts of the string. I know how to change text color but not background. For example, I want the artist background color different from title. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkee Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 in the custom color configuration i believe it is configured like this: text | selected text | background | selected background so it would look something like this: 000000 | 666666 | FFFFFF | C0C0C0 that should give you black text with a white background and dark grey text with a light grey background when selected. maybe that's a little wrong, but it should get you on the right track.

Shannon Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 (edited) hey,im a long time winamp user and these screenshots sold me on foobar. i've downloaded it and have a few questions. 1. how can i crossfade inbetween songs? 2. where do i start to customize the look? 3. what are some essential components i should get? thx. 584788660[/snapback] Download the foo_dsp_continuator component. First, go get the Columns UI component, then go get some configs. Personally, I use: foo_temple - Allows you to enqueue songs to be played next foo_playlistfind - A plugin to search the playlist (F3 does this already, but this component does it better :cool:) foo_shuffle - So much better than Foobar's Random thingo. This keeps a history of songs played so it knows not to play them again, plus it allows you to set custom shuffle rules (like -artist|+genre (different artist, same genre)) foo_winamp_spam - Creates a fake Winamp window so you can spam your favourite IRC channel with your currently playing song... among other things.

Ashiaveli Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 awesome thx. i'm having a few problems tho. 1. i cant get that continuator to work. even before you posted I had it (i googled "foobar crossfading") and I dunno why but it wont work. 2. I want to make the playlist background go like one row one colour, the next row another colour. like that down the whole list, 2 colours. 3. how can i change the button graphics? thanks again for the quick reply.

Etc. Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Attached is a directsound output component that enables crossfading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiaveli Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 see thats the problem. i already have that, i have it enabled and everything. it just doesnt work. crossfading in winamp and all that works so i know its not a hardware thing.

Paste the following:Text color here | Selected text colour here | $if($strcmp($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),1),Row one colour here,Row two colour here) | Selected background colour here Make sure the "Use global variables for display" check box is ticked to by the way. In the Columns UI options again, go to 'Other' tab. Should be pretty straight forward from here. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted October 23, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 23, 2004 You need to open the preferences then under display choose columns UI from the drop down box at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to play a Random song, just hit the Random button... Next is supposed to play the next song in the playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashiaveli Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Can i have a keyboard shortcut for random next then? also can i have keyboard shortcuts for when foobar isnt in focus..like hitting page up does next song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into the Foobar preferences and have a look under Core > Keyboard Shortcuts. ;) What you are talking about here is called Global Hotkeys and yes, Foobar does them too. When you go to make a new keyboard shortcut, just tick the Global box and you'll be able to use that shortcut from anywhere in Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
