Hawk999 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Been a while since I've worked on anything foobar related..currently making my own "Knorr" themed foobar, because I wasn't happy with the one that was available.. [snip image] .. not finished yet, but when it is I'm sure I'll release it here. Nice, very nice moglenstar. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirwode Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 My foobar was becoming really slow, and I had no idea why. Opening it was a chore and sometimes going through playlists would sometimes result in long delays. A quick search made me realise something, I had plugins that were very old which resulted in loss of performance, and plugins that were disabled or unused, meaning they were taking up much needed resources and memory. So I set out to clean my Foobar by uninstalling and stripping every plugin and updating it or removing it altogether. And the result was a good one, now my Foobar is much faster and much leaner than before, using only plugins that I really use such as Columns UI. I also upgraded to the latest version, which means I can't use Panels UI for track display but I can live with that. Here's the result of my slimming: I think it's usable enough and pretty enough to be used on a daily basis. I'm now looking for something for ratings to complement it. I do have a question though, is there any way I can rename the two Filter results as Now Playing and Last Played so that it looks really tidy or is there another plugin I can use to make it happen?

Sam Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Probably a 'noob' question, but if I've created a new PanelsUI config (In preferences->panels UI), how do I export it to .pui? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange question ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Ah, that was the problem, couldn't find my .pui file. Turns out it was marked as a "compatibility" file by vista, and therefore hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moglenstar Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I know it's not finished yet, but it looks a little empty. Im presuming/hoping that there will be a background?Primie.uk I could add the feature, but it's not really necessary for me.. most of the time I have foobar out of view, and just use the media keys on my keyboard. Currently the config is setup to be fluid vertically, so it can be made taller/shorter, but I need to redo the images to make it fluid horizontally so that it can be made wider/narrower. i love u moglenstar and i can't wait for that release :D:D:D:D easy now ;) release should be some time this weekend, as I've got a bunch of exams towards the end of this week.

phool Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Since the official foobar forums have closed threads about Panels UI, I thought I'd join here and take advantage of all your extensive knowledge ;) Could someone give me a simple tut on how to go about creating multiple window modes in a layout? Basically I'd like to have a slim mode with just album art and track info and be able to switch to a larger mode which includes the playlist/media library, etc. I've tried looking at other configs but I just can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey_snake Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 from here: POPUP:name Opens a new Panels UI window, where name is the name of a PUI file. If no PUI file exists a file with the specified name will be created within the layout's Panel UI folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napalm Frog Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Would anyone be able to upload the foo_uie_explorer plugin for me? Every link is dead, and it's now impossible to find. From now on, I'm going to back up my foo components before I format, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. You could have a button to toggle between display modes, and resize the foobar window.. I'd do it something like $setpvar(displaymode,1) // code to display layout based on value of "displaymode" select($getpvar(displaymode), // display mode 1 you would have the code to show your track info and artwork here , // display mode 2 you would have the code to show your playlist here , // display mode 3 you would have the code to show your media library here ) // then you would have the code for buttons to toggle between modes. // in this example I'm writing as if using version 14.10+ of panels_ui, so using $textbutton() instead of $button2().. $textbutton(x-position,y-position,Track info,Track info,SET:PVAR:displaymode:1,) $textbutton(x-position,y-position,Playlist,Playlist,SET:PVAR:displaymode:2,) $textbutton(x-position,y-position,Library,Library,SET:PVAR:displaymode:3,) //and a button to toggle window size // if window width is wider than 200px $ifgreater(%_width%,200, // show button to make it 200px wide $textbutton(x-position,y-position,Small,Small,WINDOWSIZE:200:500:LEFT:TOP,), // else show button to make it 400px wide $textbutton(x-position,y-position,Wide,Wide,WINDOWSIZE:400:500:LEFT:TOP,) ) That's kind of how I would do it anyway, but that's off the top of my head as I'm away from my computer right now, so there might be some errors. Anyway I hope that helps, and you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primie.uk Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Is anyone running foobar on Vista? I've just recently installed vista and installed foobar, but sometimes when i close/refresh the library etc it closes foobar by itself giving me a bad allocation error. Anyone know my problem?

shakey_snake Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It is a known problem from running components not compiled with the almost two-year-old Vista compatible SDK. What components are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashTK Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thought I would share a config I am working on: Kinda of a mac-ish, quicktime type feel. So, just a concept at the moment. Full .PSD will be available on request for anyone who would like to have a go at making it after it's completed. Still to do: Random buttoms - ie. min, close, shuffle, volume etc Refine Playlist if no one likes it / not possible. Tell me what you think, or if you want anything added before it started to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbabyte Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 that config is hot... all it needs however is some sort of spectrum somewhere.. and possibly some nicer buttons up top. But i love the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked the idea of just a 'pauze' button. Other than that, great config! I can't wait to play around with it. Good to see some foobar configs again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
