Foobar layout based on GSM
Found the amazing VS suite a couple of days ago on this site and decided to make a more or less full featured foobar layout around it :)
download here
Hydrogenaudio PUI thread
Click for animated
* PLUGINS REQUIRED
foo_ui_columns
foo_ui_panels UPDATE TO NEWEST VERSION 0.9.2
foo_uie_albumlist
foo_uie_playlists_dropdown
foo_uie_vis_egoh
foo_cwb_hooks
* PLUGINS OPTIONAL
foo_uie_wsh_panel
foo_lyricsdb
foo_playcount
* FONTS REQUIRED
Calibri
AvantGarde LT Medium
AvantGarde LT Medium caps
(the avantgarde fonts are bundled in this VS)
* RECOMMENDED THEME
GSM VS - http://www.geeessemm.com/
This layout blends seamlessly with any of the dark GSM themes in the suite, but will work fine with other themes. The only component that will look out of place is the playlist dropdown, there is a small border that uses the system colors that cannot be changed.
For installation directions and other stuff, see the readme!
Updated April 4 07
Update and stuff
http://customize.org/foobar/skins/49092
0.2.2
+ bugfixes
+ scpl background color changes with color scheme
+ tinkered around with button graphics/behavior
+ scpl singles/album mode consolidated into one panel
+ changing between modes is now done via right click - group/sort
Please read the readme if you're still having problems with the grouping defaulting to singles mode.

Re: Foobar layout based on GSM
That's one of the slickest, yet still appealing, Foobar dealios I've ever seen. Usually, the fancy ones are a bit too fancy for me, but damned if that don't look swank. Nice job.

Re: Foobar layout based on GSM
Thanks for the input :) I was trying to find a good balance between having all the features I need, a compact layout, and eye candy. Most of the configs I've seen take up too much desktop real estate or are too minimalistic and just have the basic playlist+buttons.

Re: Foobar layout based on GSM
I'll sure be using this .. if I get it to work (not very good at these Foobar things)
EDIT: I got everything working, just not the covers. How do I manage that?

Re: Foobar layout based on GSM
How do you manage your album art? Is it saved to an external file, and if so is it in a separate directory organized into artist - album.jpg, etc, or located in the directory of the mp3?
If it's the first case, make sure this line in your panels_ui layout globals exists
$puts(coverPath,$replace(C:\Covers\%artist% - %album%.jpg))
and change it to point to the directory of your album art. That example will fetch for example, 'C:\Covers\Silver Jews - Tanglewood Numbers.jpg'. The name of the file must be EXACTLY how it is in the tag of the file for it to work.
The easier way is to use
$puts(coverPath,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.png))
and change folder.png to whatever standard name you use to save album art. This works by finding the directory of the mp3 and searching for folder.png in that directory.
If your art is embedded into your mp3 file in the id3v2 tag, you're out of luck. Foobar does not have a component to retrieve that, I think because the embedding process is a hack and breaks the id3v2 standards (go go itunes).

Re: Foobar layout based on GSM
There's a generic 250x250 no cover image in the images folder that you can replace to whatever you'd like. In the SCPL, if no cover is found the text just aligns itself left where the art would be.
Egolatra, I've added it to the GSM group, do I need to be friends with the bundle creator to add it to the bundle?
