I've finally (kind of) finished my first skin for foobar2000 and wanted to share it with you for some feedback. So please leave a comment and add it to your favourites, if you like it.
I'm still working on the installation notes. Tell me, if something isn't clear enough or doesn't work.
-- READ THIS FIRST (it may solve your problem) -- How to install: 1. Install foobar2000 v1.1.x. 2. Extract the archive and copy the folders (components, skins) to your foobar2000 folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\foobar2000). 3. Start foobar2000 and choose Columns UI as your default interface. If you're not prompted to, go to Preferences -> Display and do so. 4. Uncheck Safe mode under Preferences -> Tools -> WSH Panel Mod. 5. Go to Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI and click on Import... under FCL importing and exporting. 6. Choose fooSound.fcl under C:\Program Files\foobar2000\skins\fooSound, make sure you have everything checked and confirm with OK. 7. Uncheck Show toolbars. 8. Go to Preferences -> Tools -> EsPlaylist -> Behaviour and copy these settings (Rating editing is only availabe, when Playback Statistics is installed!). 9. Enjoy!
Update 22-11-2011: · updated the Lyrics Show Panel 3 to 0.2 beta
Update 09-11-2011: · "Pseudo Transparent" mode of WSH Panel Mod is no longer needed, therefore it does not flicker anymore · added components to archive
Update 06-11-2011: · added option to hide artwork · some minor changes
Update 05-11-2011: · implemented a better seekbar script
Hello and thank you for the excellent skin! I have a bit of a problem. I have followed the instructions but have no volume control and no visualization. Here's screenshot. Using latest foobar2000 1.1.10 on Windows 7 x64.
Thank you. To solve you problem just read the comment from Ich4326 before yours. If you want to hide the toolbar go to Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI -> Main and uncheck show toolbars. I hope I could help you.
Aha, so window has to have certain dimensions for these elements to be visible. I somehow looked blindly through that previous comment. Thank you again!
It's great, i completed the installation follows your guides. In the EsPlaylist -> Behaviour -> Rate Editing -> Command, i can't find the setting shown in your screenshot (Playback Statistics/Rating/<not set>) In the lyric panel, it always shows that no lyrics have been found yet. I tried Right Click -> Lyric Search, but it found nothing also. The volume control and the spectrum are not show properly, after i maximize the player, then it can be shown. Is it resolution problem? I'm using 1280x800.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear that. The setting you're talking about is only available, if you have the Playback Statistics installed. So you don't have to bother. I can't really do anything about the lyrics, but the developer of Lyrics Show Panel 3 updated it a few days ago. This should fix it more or less. Regarding the volume control and spectrum... yes, it is a resolution problem. The window must be wider than 1100 pixels. Otherwise they would overlap with other elements in the top bar, since their size is fixed.
Thanks! Personally I don't need Chronflow. Afaik the newest version is from April 2008 and it doesn't support embedded artwork. If you know an alternative or some more people want it, I would take a look.
I already knows that its dead end project but I've found it incredible useful, and works like a charm in every config I've tried out. Anyways, should be great to get it as an alt panel, but if not, its ok. Thanks!
