Foobar2000 Customization Topic


Recommended Posts

Would anyone know how I can get foobar to open a new playlist when playing mp3s outside of foobar (like when playing from explorer)?

preferences > core > select alway send to playlist, give it a name

Can someone tell me how you change the title bar, maybe i'm just slow, but i can't find how :/

It doesn't change with the theme, and i tried several that comes with a bar...

I'm talking about the bar that says like Foobar and stuff, on the top :/

And how can i get that bar on the left that shows the album cover? :)

I can just get mine in the top panel...

1. preference > display > title formatting > main window title

2. add albumart to the sidepanel, make sure to enable sidepanel too

And I am still looking for my jaw. It dropped instantly :cool:

Any chance of getting the .fcs and trackinfo code?

^Very nice config Psyphre.

Also at the moment I am using 0.9 RC (24/2/06). I cannot seem to get the Album list to appear in the sidebar :wacko:

Thats because the album list panel hasn't been updated to work with the newest release candidate. I doubt that it will get updated until the final version gets released.

VERY nice (Y)

One thing though, could be better combining the Title and Artist columns, and seperating them with a $tab() and a few spaces. By doing that, most titles/artists won't get cut off in the playlist, unless they meet in the middle, which, when they do, the spaces will become the gap between the two.. if you understand what I mean :p

Anyway, hope you release it :cool:

Thx to all for the comments :)

Thalswe: ummm whats .fcs :huh: , sorry im really new to foobar codes and stuff. I just spent an hour reading the foobar wiki last nite and figured out how to make the trailing lights shortly after.

For the trackinfo codes, im not sharing :p lol nah course I will.

recommended font: avantgarde

font colour: white

Title / artist:

$upper($if(%_trackinfo_notrack%,metamorphosisc0c0c0one,$if2(%title%,%_filename%) c0c0c0/ ffd955$meta_sep(artist,', ',' and ')))

lights and stop/pause text:

$if(%_isplaying%,$if(%_ispaused%, 9e9e9eo paused,$lower(

$replace($substr($num(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,4),4,5),0,ffffffo,1,c0c0c0o,2,9e9e9eo,3,808080o,4,808080o,5,ffffffo,6,c0c0c0o,7,9e9e9eo,8,808080o,9,808080o)

$replace($substr($num(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,4),4,5),0,808080o,1,ffffffo,2,c0c0c0o,3,9e9e9eo,4,808080o,5,808080o,6,ffffffo,7,c0c0c0o,8,9e9e9eo,9,808080o)

$replace($substr($num(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,4),4,5),0,808080o,1,808080o,2,ffffffo,3,c0c0c0o,4,9e9e9eo,5,808080o,6,808080o,7,ffffffo,8,c0c0c0o,9,9e9e9eo)

$replace($substr($num(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,4),4,5),0,9e9e9eo,1,808080o,2,808080o,3,ffffffo,4,c0c0c0o,5,9e9e9eo,6,808080o,7,808080o,8,ffffffo,9,c0c0c0o))),9e9e9eo stopped)

If anyone wants i can explain the concept of how the lights work (who knows mite inspire someone to make something better). Right now i can only make them move at 1 second intervals, it might be possible to get it faster, but that would get really complex.

spex04: ye i did try that for a while, but doesnt taht mean i cant have "title" and "artist" on opposite sides of the header, like in the screenshot? I'll play around with ur idea tho, see what i come up with, thx. Btw theres nothing release, its just a screen shot.

What version of foobar are you running this config on?

Can the litestep foobar controls be used without the litestep shell?

phend-one: 0.83 and those controls are part of the litestep shell, so no. Im sure there are other ways of having a remote, i recall seeing a foo_remote once. Samurize may even be able to do it.

Psyphre: I must say, it's absolutely gorgeous. Are you planning to release this as a giant installable pack (Installs foobar, your config, extra stuff)?

Keep it up!

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

you can't do that (not allowed by foobar's distribution policy)

@Psyphre - Thanks for the code. Very kind of you. The .fcs file (as already mentioned) is foobars configuration file for the playlist and titlebar and everything. Its what Collumn_Ui creates if you export the setup :)

I think you're right. I remember visiting a site that had a installable theme with foobar, but now it's not there anymore.

about the installation pack, i wasnt planning to, i wouldnt even know how to if i wanted. Its really simple to recreate my foobar setup if you wanted to. Just use the codes i pasted above for the track info panel.

You'll need plugins for:

columnsUI

columnsUI tabs

scheduler

album list

album art

I think tahts it.

thalswe: i tried uploading the fcs but neowin wont let me.
