  • The advanced Text Display sample is now available.

3.2.28#

  • The Configuration Window has had the following updates:
    • The text style automatically tracks the dark/light mode settings from the foobar2000 Preferences. Using custom colours is still supported by changing the mode via the Style button.

    • The zoom can be reset using Ctrl+0.
  • utils.TextBox has beed updated to support coloured emoji.

  • The Spectrogram Seekbar samples now support cue sheets.

3.2.22#

3.2.18#

    • Unlike normal Columns UI panels, Edge Style is not an option.
  • Fix bug introduced in 3.2.15 where tooltips may not have updated correctly when toggling Dark Mode.
  • The Track Info + Seekbar + Buttons have been updated to provide an alternative button set if the Segoe Fluent Icons font is installed. Windows 11 users have it by default, Windows 10 users can download it here. This is a change from the attempt at using Segoe MDL2 Assets in the previous release which was problematic. Existing users need to use the Samples button to reload the script and take advantage of it.

3.2.15#

  • Big internal rewrite of how foobar2000 callbacks are forwarded to panels. Please report any issues if you encounter them.
  • The Track Info + Seekbar + Buttons samples have a new button set available. Existing users must re-import using the Samples button in the Configuration Window. The new set is only available on Windows 10 or later because it uses the Segoe MDL2 Assets font. The option will be greyed out on earlier versions of Windows. Use the right click menu to choose:
