Hello I'm having an issue with the display script it's highlighting the background on the time remaining. Any fix for this? Thanks in advance. Here's a picture of the issue. i.imgur.com/6BAbeHs.png

NocturnalLunacy Featured By Owner May 29, 2018

I love this skin even tho it's kind un user friendly. But I am having an issue with the middle panel. the waveform is covering the entire thing and the album art is under it unless i click on it and then the album art shows but the waveform is under it and the song title dont even show up. im on a 1080p monitor cuz im not rich enuf for 4k. I looked at the options and it shows the waveform as horizontal but its obviously vertical. can i just remove the waveform completely? and how do i get the title and stuff to show up?
Also, it seems that the album art is disappearing and the albums aren't grouping up. I have to manually group them up.
I will include some pics so you can see what im talking about.

Please respond to this at my email as I am rarely on Deviant. my email is lakota.2@hotmail.com

Been using your program for a long time (both versions).

Brought a new computer with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. The fonts are now tiny.

Is there a quick and easy way to make all of the fonts larger for all sections, i.e., lists, Library, Lyrics, various views, i.e., View 1, View 2, etc.?

Thanks for an outstanding product!

Hi, tedgo. Amazing work. Thank you.

I use foobar2000 with an attached USB DAC and it has its own output way to utilize native DSD audio files. Do you know why your theme prevents them from playing?
Foobar2000 uses asioforproxy, sacd plugin and asio plugin and that's all. It just doesn't respond when I press play after applying your wonderful theme. If it was a driver thing it'd throw an error window.
Whenever I reset via "reset all" I can play dsd files without doing anything again.

Thanks

redorbroder Featured By Owner Jan 1, 2018

OK, I'll try to help you...

Make shure foobar "JScript Panel" is installed
Inside foobar use Ctrl+P look in "Components\Installed components"

If not installed download JScript Panel from here:
www.filedropper.com/foojscript…
(Why it's on filedropper is a long story, you can read about it here, page 16-17:
hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic…)

Install the downloaded foo_jscript_panel-v1.3.2.2.fb2k-component by rightclick on file an select install
Go back to foobar use Ctrl+P look in "Components\Installled components" make shure it's listed there

Download JScript Biography 0.8.5.2
hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic… and unpack

Inside foobar use Ctrl+P then click "Columns UI"
Click on "Layout" tab then mark "JScript Panel"
On right side there's a "Configure" button, click it

A new window opens: "JScript Panel Configuration"
Bottom left is a "Tool" button, click it and select "Import"
Point to Biography 0.8.5.2.txt then click "Apply" button located bottom right corner

That's it! Thanks to WilB you now have foobar Biography back!

Regards

mantrasiva Featured By Owner Jan 5, 2018

Hi
thank you so much for what you did ,really really appreciate it!
now i have biography of the artist ,if i click album i get nothing , is it normal?
or i did a mess?
but is enough to export FCL ? i can do it and upload so you can check it
happy new year man! and thanks again

redorbroder Featured By Owner Jan 6, 2018

Hello,

I don't understand what you mean by click album?
Could you specify where you click, take a screendump of foobar and mark where you click.

Regards

mantrasiva Featured By Owner Jan 7, 2018

hi man
might you upload a FCL ? should be enough

thanks Rdorbroder

redorbroder Featured By Owner Jan 8, 2018

Hello,

I can tell by the screendumps we don't have the same setup at all.
Here's what I see when rightclick on Biography:
s17.postimg.org/t04ghscb3/foob…
As you can see I don't have that Album option.

So you'll probably get better help from foobar forum:
hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic…
If you find a solution please share.
I will try to find out as well.

Bonjour,
Depuis de nombreuses années j'utilise DarkOne, je viens de changer de PC, un Asus pro affichage2840 x 2160.
A mon grand regret les boutons et les lettres sont illisibles car tout petits, même en changeant d'affichage.
Y a t-il une solution.
Merci par avance

Can someone tell me how to get back my peak meter on my darkone v4 , the stereo mode is not working also, everything is playing in MONO / no signal

fiske1234 Featured By Owner Nov 2, 2017

I would have reinstalled DarkOne. Might be easier than trining to find the problem.

DayWalkerUnderWorld Featured By Owner Nov 3, 2017

Thanks, Fiske1234, I did do that and nothing changes , deleted the program and then reinstalled DarkoneV4 and the nothing changed when I put the cursor on the field it shows no signal

The left and right spec meter is not working and the foobar program is playing in mono, don't know what to do.

redorbroder Featured By Owner Edited Nov 4, 2017

Hello,

Here's what I would do:
Uninstall foobar completely, delete the foobar folder (including DarkOne), also clean Windows registry from leftovers.
Get a fresh foobar from here:
www.foobar2000.org/download
Install foobar
When done use Ctrl+P inside foobar --> Components
Click "Get updates"
Then follow the DarkOne manual.

Regards

DayWalkerUnderWorld Featured By Owner Nov 9, 2017

redorbroder Featured By Owner Edited Nov 7, 2017

Hello,

To make things easy for you download this FCL:

Open foobar
Click Ctrl+P
Choose *Columns UI*
Choose *FCL importing and exporting*
Click button *Import*
Point to *DarkOne v4.0 JScript Biography Version - Tedgo - Modified by WilB.fcl*
In new window *Select settings to import" select all
Click "OK" button

Hope this works well for you.
If you are happy with the settings make a backup, same procedure but choose *Export* FCL

Rating through the stars under the playlist doesn't seem to work for me, although I can rate songs in the rating database just fine through other means. Clicking on them does nothing, even although I have Show/Enable rating and Rate to the database selected in the context menu of the stars (show playcounts does nothing btw).

Also, how can I access the code for drawing the artist picture under ELPlaylist? And can I add it to NGP and ESP aswell? I would like to customize it because I don't want to store the artist pictures in every single album folder, only the artist directory, but having ..\artist.jpg set as additional path in the Columns UI/Artwork preferences doesn't seem to do it

drawshot Featured By Owner Jun 29, 2018

Not sure about your first question, but I was recently trying to change the behavior of the background artist image like you and figured out a solution.

Go to the splitter settings (in the area described in section 1.6 of the user manual), and go to the 'script' tab and 'per track' tab. Near the top there should be a section for the artist picture. If you just want to change it to always use the artist.jpg in the parent directory, change the line from this:

$set_ps_global(do.artist.pic,$directory_path(%path%)\artist.*)

to this:

$set_ps_global(do.artist.pic,$directory_path(%path%)\..\artist.*)

Still wish I could make it default to the artist.jpg file in the album directory if it exists, and fall back on the artist.jpg file in the parent directory otherwise, which would be useful in cases where lineups change significantly over the course of a bands career.

Help! - I'm going around in circles try to find out how to download the latest Dark One theme.

Where/How can I get it.

Thanks in advance.

redorbroder Featured By Owner Sep 5, 2017

Click on "Download" button top right corner, then unpack and read instructions.

jimsmale Featured By Owner Sep 5, 2017

Thanks very much and thanks for not calling me an idiot!

I knew it would be something simple. I did get it yesterday afternoon after my brain switched on. Before that I was looking at the button and thinking it was trying to trick me into downloading 7zip rather than telling me it was a DarkOne file that had been 7zipped.

Hi, fantastic skin but I just have a little problem, when I add files on queue and the stop after current option is activated, music stop after each song, and if I desactivate stop after current option, it doesn't stop after each track but don't stop at the end of the queue.

What can I do to have foobar go through my queued list without stop but stop at the end of the queued list?

Thank you
