for the visualisation go to columns ui then you can edit colour of the visualisation(foreground/background)

for the playlists stripes it's scripts that make it like that.

look at the XJOSHATTACKX release

import this config in the columns ui options

then go to columns ui/columns options and check the scripts used

it's the best way to understand how to make the playlist strips ;)

,but how can i add ratings ,song #,and album info there!?

#169430

you must create the script to display the information you want and the way that is displayed.

by example:

$if2(%ARTIST%,$directory(%_path%,2)) - $if2(%TITLE%,$filename(%_path%))

display the artist name(or the folder of the song if there a re no artist name tagged) and the song name(or the song name if there's no song name tagged)

the easy way to understand every script is to download them like these then open the editor and examine how the author make it ;)

Umm,how can i rate my songs now?and why my codec items in column ui goes away?And i see somebody's foobar has a musical note when a song is playing!how can i add one?

#169445

you can rate a song by creating an entry in the song's tag named rating and you put the rate 0 to 5

you can use masstager to do that but the easiest way it's to use foo_quicktag.dll and simply right clic on a playlist song ;)

for the music note it's that script:

$if(%_isplaying%,
$if($strcmp($mod(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,2),0),'♪','♫'),
$if($strcmp(%tracknumber%,'01'),' ',))

i pick it from the XJOSHATTACKX config

#169471

Plzzzz send me it foo_quicktag.dll :woot:

i don't why i cannot dowload files that hosted in this server members.lycos.co.uk

thanks so much,by the way where you from man?

Hi guys, bubbling about foobar again ;) ,

Derek, maybe you know one thing about this showing a note while playing.

I don't get the effect - just instead of the not it is a square showed in my list.

Should I use some special font or something ??

#169479

you can pick foo_quicktag here

@Jack_Surfer:yes the note is not displayed with all fonts ;)

it works with lucida grande without unicode,mac grande etc....you should try with some :lol:

#169485

Okay!Thanks ya again!Everything is fine now!and please tell me who cfg file contains the note ?

#169490

Thanks derek,

I wonder how your Foobar looks now.

#169505

@cuckoodu:the XJOSHATTACKX config contains the note ;)

@Jack_Surfer:i don't use foo_ui_collumns :lol: i use foo_tunes:

#169522

Okay!i will surly use your great foo-tunes when i get it working properly here,and thanks again for all your patience and help with and to me! :D

#169770

Hi derek,

I don't use foo_tunes. I know it has more sophisticated options, but personally I use foobar to skip all these fountains of Winamp and get the best of sound - first of all. Besides I'd like to keep foobar as clear and simple as possible and those modifications with blue-striped songs + left-side panel are just to have it as informative as possible.

So, basically coverart is not very important for me.

Thanks anyway for all the hints. If you'll have any problems or questions in the future - just go on, if I'll be able you get all the help (cuckoodu & others as well - of course).
