Foobar2000:Components/Columns UI (foo ui columns)
This article is a stub. You can help the Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase by expanding it.
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.
