Description

A user interface for the foobar2000 audio player which includes the following features:

Columns in the default view of the playlist
Built-in volume control toolbar
Interchangeable elements through the use of panel and toolbar components

Layout

The definite most important aspect of Columns UI! Each item that is added is hereforth refered to as an object.

Presets

Presets are used to change into a different type of layout. For example, a user might have one layout to choose songs from a playlist, one to change the actual playlist, and another to watch the lyrics. Maybe I will upload an image later.

Objects

Layout

The only existing layout option is Tabbed Panel Stack Mod, used for foo_uie_tabs. Tabs in this case function the same way they do in Firefox, and each tab corresponds to a different layout. In order to set that layout, each child object is a new tab.

Panels

Panels are the most important thing you will use. Think blocks, you can stack them, place them next to each other, and set them up however you like.

The best examples are Album

Playlist Views

Default Playlist
Columns Playlist
Single Column Playlist

Splitters

|- Horizontal Splitter
|--- Panel A
|--- Panel B

Makes A to the left of B

|- Vertical Splitter
|--- Panel A
|--- Panel B

Makes A on top of B

Toolbars

Visualizations

Spectrum Analyzer is the only one that I have. Well, if a visualization is next to a toolbar, it will fit inside of the toolbar. If it's inside of a splitter or next to panels, then it will act as a panel.

Example Layout

Playlist Switcher

Switch playlist, not very featureful.

Columns Playlist

This Playlist View (like Single Column Playlist or Default) displays different variables in columns.

Columns

Global

Use this panel to configure the whole section of Columns Playlist.

Variables

Variables are used for...something.

Style

Style refers to each unconfigured style of column.
