That doesnt do the trick :p but that doesnt mather.

The only problem I'm still having is with the selected playing song, how can I change that color?

And is it possible to resize a column without having to set the size?

Like in Windows Explorer. :)

I have another question. I view my artists in my album list by artist. However, there are some artists I want to delete. I delete them by right-clicking on the artist I want to delete and click Remove from library. But when I restart Foobar they reappear. How can I permanently delete these artists from my library?

Anyone? :)

To answer that, here's the writing from the creator himself, Phi:

To get a line-break use $char(10). You can also change the alignment of a single line by putting either $char(1)C or $char(1)R at the very start of the line, where the C and R stand for Centered and Right (left aligned is the default).

Thanks, that works :D

Now, can I set some text in that track info box when there is nothing playing?

I tryed this one: %_trackinfo_notrack%

But that returned 1 but I want some text there instead of the number 1 :p

Ok, I did that earlier actually.

Mode: 00B0B0%_trackinfo_mode%$char(10)$char(10)
$if(%_trackinfo_notrack%,$char(10)$char(10)00B0B0No Track Playing,
Artist: 00B0B0[%artist%] $tab()$char(10)
Title: 00B0B0[%title%] $tab()[$char(10)
Album: 00B0B0[%album%] $tab()]$char(10)
Genre: 00B0B0[%genre%] $tab()
[$char(10)Year: 00B0B0[%date%] $tab()]$char(10)
Length: 00B0B0[%length%] $tab())

What that code does is makes the panel say "No Track Playing" if nothing is playing, and displays the info if a track is playing.

I made a quick screenshot of both modes to show you.

Here is my current config:

currentfoobarsetup9rw.png

I'm still playing around with it, so it isn't finished :p

The now playing bar looks weird but that's because it's set to scroll :)

Fantastic config, couple of questions for you...

1. Can you share your config?

2. Which plugin are you using to get internet radio?

Thanks..

Hey guys, I'm looking for a bit of help here. I have been using foobar for a couple months now, though finally have the time to begin making it what I actually want. Today I read about 600 of the posts in this thread (among a couple other sites on the code options). After reading all of this I have some questions, I seem to keep coming up empty handed.

First what I am using. I have foobar2000 v0.9.2 with Columns UI 0.1.3 beta 1v5

I have a decent understanding of the code used in foobar, and have some prior coding experience behind me.

After reading all these posts here and seeing peoples configuration I have an idea of what I would like to implament into foobar ontop of Columns UI of course, though I don't know exactly where to look, some of the ones I found were for the older version of foobar (v0.8.3 I believe it was).

Ok, here we go

1. First I want to add ratings for the songs (1-5 stars ideally).

2. Customized buttons

3. On the left side where by default is the playlist I would like to have a couple things. (kind of like what brumal did on one of his [http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=foobyblack12mg.jpg])

3.1 Album art

3.2 Track info (song playing)

3.3 Playlist

4. As I saw on acedrivers I need it to be suitable for both albums and singles at the same time. On the comp. I have my songs sorted by artist, then album, then song. I only have complete albums (though some are various artists). So if in a playlist I add a whole album (or half the album) I want it to show as you guys do w/ albums, though if I only select one song I want it to show as a single. Does this make sense?

5. When it goes to a new song and I have foobar minimized can I have a pop-up like what Gmail Notifier does that tells me the artist, song title, album, rating, etc...?

6. Can I add my library/album list to a tab w/ the playlist (3.3)? So it would have two tabs, one for playlists and one for my library.

7. I don't remember who posted it but the link to their pic is (http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7725/macish5xl.png). Here you see a search box for searching the current playlist being played from. I would like this. I found one place to download something like this, though it doesn't work on current version of foobar.

8. oh, just thought of one last thing. I think I saw it in an earlier post though didn't see an answer. Can I have my songs fade out and in when going from one song to the next?

Thanks everyone for the help. I greatly appreciate it.

edit: made it so you can click on links so it's easier for you

Ok I just reinstalled Foobar and got the beta build of ui_columns,

I am trying to customize my buttons with an FCB but when I load the file my buttons show up blank on the toolbar.

What plugin am I missing?

2. Customized buttons

right click button toolbar, customise

3. On the left side where by default is the playlist I would like to have a couple things. (kind of like what brumal did on one of his [http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=foobyblack12mg.jpg])

3.1 Album art

3.2 Track info (song playing)

3.3 Playlist

modify the layout, display > columns ui > layout tab

4. As I saw on acedrivers I need it to be suitable for both albums and singles at the same time. On the comp. I have my songs sorted by artist, then album, then song. I only have complete albums (though some are various artists). So if in a playlist I add a whole album (or half the album) I want it to show as you guys do w/ albums, though if I only select one song I want it to show as a single. Does this make sense?

in my config, I use "singletrack" tag for single, so it will display properly in hybrid mode

5. When it goes to a new song and I have foobar minimized can I have a pop-up like what Gmail Notifier does that tells me the artist, song title, album, rating, etc...?

6. Can I add my library/album list to a tab w/ the playlist (3.3)? So it would have two tabs, one for playlists and one for my library.

use tabbed panel stack, http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=46138, add tabs as splitter and put playlist and library under it

7. I don't remember who posted it but the link to their pic is (http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7725/macish5xl.png). Here you see a search box for searching the current playlist being played from. I would like this. I found one place to download something like this, though it doesn't work on current version of foobar.

quick search: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=44012

8. oh, just thought of one last thing. I think I saw it in an earlier post though didn't see an answer. Can I have my songs fade out and in when going from one song to the next?

pref > advanced > playback > fading

I downloaded this and placed the .dll in my components folder, I then got the following error when I started foobar up:

Failed to load DLL: foo_prettypop.dll

Reason: This component is missing a required dependency, or was made for different version of foobar2000.

Not sure exactly what this means as I Downloaded Pretty Popup 1.2.3 for Foobar2000 0.9.x

EDIT: got it to work... I needed to install .NET 2.0 >.<

Sorry guys, I was going to just edit the last post but it wouldn't let me edit it O_o that's weird

Thank you very much for your help acedriver. I am working on the different things you told me about.

1. still looking for a ratings component

2. customized buttons: man was that easy, lol. I am interested in getting buttons like what brumal

used in his customization (http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/8383/foobyblack38kw.jpg)

anyone know where I can get buttons such as those?

3. Not sure I understand what you really mean

3.1 where can I get the component for album art?

3.2 where can I get the component for track info?

4. how do I use "singletrack" tag for singles as you described?

5. works perfect, had trouble at first but just needed to install .NET 2.0 incase anyone else has the same problem

6. will take a look at this, thank you

7. quick search: almost thought it wasn't really what I wanted but I just had to uncheck 'Append search string to playlist name'

8. fading: should have seen that. Which one do I change though so that when it gets to the end of the song it fades out and the following song fades in? Fading on pause is easy ;P Thank you for all your help

I have that buttons, but it's for foobar2000 v0.8.3. for v0.9.x, you need to split them invidually

3. Not sure I understand what you really mean

3.2 where can I get the component for track info?

album art: http://cherans.bol.ucla.edu/fooplugins.html

track info: http://stephan.kochen.nl/proj/foobar2000.html

updated v0.9.x plugins: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=42730

4. how do I use "singletrack" tag for singles as you described?

add "singletrack" tag, assign a value of 1 for it. also, your playlist config need to support this tag. I'm using my own config modded from an old brumal's config. you could try navigator-suite too.
