My guide to making foobar pretty (usable). - Page 17

Hi Mods-

Is there any chance we can give this a sticky? It is the best guide for the foobar newbie I have found on the internet. Also it is the only guide for the foobar newbie I have found on the internet! Hydrogen Audio is such an obtuse community. I mean no offense by that statement.

Thanks!

Take a screen shot of how your foobar looks and the layout tab in your columns ui config. Post those screen shots to image bucket or something, maybe someone could help you then. Either that or ask more specific questions.

Thanks a lot for this thread. I'm thinking about trying Foobar a bit more. I'm planning to get an M-Audio Transit sometime so it's kind of cool to see that I'm able to make something functional. So far this is the closest i've been to accepting foobar as an option.

hey guys, hope I can get some help here. I'm attempting to customize my foobar interface in terms of colors and fonts and what not. I'm using the columnsui and album mode navigator. So far, I've been able to change the colors in my playlist tree and my playlist switcher, but in the actual playlist I'm only able to change the background color. I have a feeling that the navigator is causing the problem because I was able to change color in the playlist without it being used, but I want the look that album mode allows for. Any help would be appreciated

There is, but it's not possible using a columns ui layout. A new component has surfaced called panels ui which makes this possible. It's not very easy to use.

If i drag tracks from an album to the single column playlist view, instead of listing the tracks by track number, it does it alphabetically. How do I change this?

Thank you.

Hi

Don't want to sound like an idiot... but when viewing music files on desktop or directory and you double click to play them, which makes foobar load... is there a setting to play files in a new playlist tab instead of existing tab? Just a small thing

I emailed slotos, the guy who posted the modified Navigator settings in the hydrogenaudio thread, re: reuploading his sendspace link.
Here is his reply:

I've reuploaded my Navigator Modifications on sharebee (Download links - Sharebee.com, the one and only online file hosting distribution service.). Archive contains the modification mentioned in my post and my WIP adaptation of Navigator Suite 2 alpha to NG Playlist ( ImageShack - Hosting :: 75418366hy5.jpg).

Features for Navigator2:
- ability to distinguish between single tracks and single tracked album through availability of album gain (toggleable, check in Globals and NG Playlist grouping)
- using value of %sort% field for grouping if available, made it to sort OCRemix game remixes in a nice way
- can't remember anything significant ATM =)

Todo:
- toggleable "process TG only tracks as singles"
- clean up string a bit after "globals in NG grouping" is implemented
- repair "theming" feature and update it to use %_back% etc

Also daily plays and "played today" marker isn't working because new columns ui doesn't provide system date info ATM. Maybe I'll utilize cwb_hooks, but I'm still waiting for CUI update.

For now it's a bit messy but I can't move any further until musicmusic implements some features he has in todo list for Columns UI. Also I hope I'll be able to extend his todo list with some more requests, when the NG Playlist is out from alpha stage.

Anyway feel free to use, modify and share. The more creative people will use and modify Navigator the better it may become.

unfortunately the browser plugins don't seem to work well with the new foobar. I keep getting runtime errors when trying to do anything with them. I really loved those, and I'm that close to replicating my old look. The other plugins seem ok though.

Thank you.
