* Artist and Genre playlist views * Orange and blue colors * iPod and shoutcast support * A Now Playing tab with album cover and little bars that move around all crazy and the waveform seekbar as well * Playlist filters with a ton of presets for the OCD fiends * Buttons for rating songs and downloading covers * Playback statistics like Last Played, Added to Library, etc * Last.fm related artists and listeners in the Biography tab * Rewritten and optimized interface - resizing the window is faster, tabs switch more smoothly, options are saved with globals
A few differences though: * The library tab has been removed, with its theme and filters ported to the album list popup. * You're stuck with the last.fm stuff, so you'd better like it.
Installing this is really straight forward, just be sure not to copy the playlists folder over an existing install or you could lose a couple of your playlists.
////////////////// Recent changes:
V5 * Artist and Genre playlist views (the Album grouping has been reverted to a true album view instead of sorting by artist - album as before) * Orange and blue color schemes * Waveform seekbar visualization (it's pretty great) * Rewrote and optimized much of the interface - resizing the window is faster, tabs switch more smoothly, interface options are saved with globals * Playing tab: - Try not to use embedded artwork in the playing tab - Don't resize covers so aggressively in vertical layouts - Reduced the vertical height of the tracklist - Added a very slight drop shadow * The cancel button on the shoutcast input popup actually works * The dropdown menu appears at fixed coordinates * Fixed some playlist filters that weren't working properly for tags with multiple values * Some other little fixes
Much thanks to sparanoid and falco whose amazing work this is based off, some other poeple too:
hi, i used to use your skin, since it used the old 1.3 wsh panel and new skins nowaday use the new version, it always crashed when i switch skin. would you update your skin? it would be awesome
updating the lyrics panel to lyrics show 3 is not too much of an issue. you can do it yourself and i will tell you how
STEP 1: add the new foo_uie_lyrics3.dll to the components folder and delete the lyrics2.dll STEP 2: open foobar and right click on the tab bar > add panel > Panels > Lyrics Show 3 STEP 3: you should have a block of white on the screen, right click on the empty space right above (where the tiny sliver of the tab bar can be seen) and select "splitter settings" STEP 4: click on Lyric Show 3 selection in the menu STEP 5: use the settings: [x] Forced layout, Left 'blank', Top '31', Width '%_width%', Height '$sub(%_height%,66)', [x] Hide panel on startup
(leave all other settings at default or blank, and the padding settings at default as well)
STEP 6: In the same window you should move to the 'Script' tab. Replace all instances of 'Lyric Show 2' with 'Lyric Show 3' (and i mean ALL of them or it will not work properly) STEP 7: To get rid of the white background just right click on Lyrics Show 3 and click on panel preferences. In the menu select Background>Transparent.
that should be it, and you can still customize it to your liking
For an even easier fix that i just discovered, do steps 1-5, and then just change the caption of Lyric Show 3 to Lyric Show 2 in the Panel List tab. Doing this you do not have to edit the script.
Having problem with the lastfm "love" button. When I try to enter the username and API key, an error "Error Saving Data" popped out. Any idea how to fix this?
I love this skin so much, but is there a way to upgrade the lyrics dll to version 3 to make them work ? I tried it several times but i screwed it up each time...
would you update your skin? it would be awesome
