I've explained each element in as much detail as possible, with links to images if I find necessary so there is no confusion.
I feel that the first bunch info should be aimed directly at twnsnds popular foo_ncmpcpp_mod (). This information is an expansion of the 4chan /w/ Desktop Customization Info page
If you are still unsure, copy and paste JUST the WSH panel mod into a new layout preset and apply it to see what it does. using the copy and paste panel method you should still be able to keep everything intact as long as you are working from a new layout within the same loaded skin/.fcl. If you highlight it and click "configure" (in the layout tab in preferences) you should be able to read through the script and determine which element it defines. The good news is, when you do copy a panel, the script and configurations are copied with it! So if you are modifying or setting up a new layout with ncmpcpp mod, make sure you copy the BASE as well to keep all the scripting intact. Panel Stack splitters can be set either vertically or horizontally, and can be modified by highlighting them with a left click and click the "configure" button. Keep in mind: When copying panels, they may rely on scripts or other panels to be with them or in a certain order. This is also how you change the panels order of appearance on the skin, depending on the orientation. Then just right click the base you want to paste it in, and paste panel. When you go to create a new layout, you can copy and paste panels from one layout to the other by navigating from one preset to the other using the drop down menu. Oh I don't know, lets say you're using foobar ncmpcpp mod. You can also hide or set elements to autohide this way as well.Īdditional Tips/Notes: Lets say you're currently using another skin, and you want to change it up a bit more. You can right click the captions and select lock, or go back in the layout tab, left click to select/highlight each element and check the "locked" box on the right. When you are done, its advised you lock your panels in place. Click apply, and you are finished! Now you can go back and customize the colors and sizes of your panels. Right click, Insert Panel>panels>Artwork view. In the final vertical splitter, I just have the artwork view. You can resize that by right clicking and dragging it in the main window itself. They should appear stacked in the middle, and the seekbar is probably really large. Now I want my playlist to be in the center, but I also want to add playlist tabs (and for the sake of this guide we will insert a seekbar.) Right click the middle vertical splitter and Insert Panel>Splitters>Playlist Tabs, then PlayListViews>NG (OR EL) Playlist, then toolbars>Seekbar. I also have a quick search toolbar above them, which you can optionally insert if you want.
You can configure them and rotate them to your liking by viewing section for details (right click the visualization in the skin and would select configure). The default channel spectrums will load in with captions on them on the left side of the skin. Right click the first Vertical splitter>Insert Panel>Visualizations>Channel Spectrum Panel. For my skin, I'm using two channel spectrums, one is mirrored under the other in a slightly lighter color to give it a different appearance. Lets insert the Channel Spectrum Panels first. Do this for each one until the skin is empty.
Before we do that, I'm going to go ahead and disable the captions on the vertical splitters by left clicking them to highlight/select them, and unchecking the "show caption" box. For more details/information see section lets focus on putting elements into the splitters. You can then configure the colors/edges/rotation/etc of the panel to your liking by right clicking the spectrum and selecting configure. It should bump it to the top if the panel is set to Vertical, or the left if the panel is set to Horizontal. Right click the Channel Spectrum Panel under your ELPlaylist and click "move up" then apply. If you want the spectrum to be on the top or the left, change the order it's in in the layout tab. Click apply in that window, then apply again in the preferences window for it to show properly in the main window. I also recommend changing the size value from 100 to around 25 to start (You can go back and change this later). Select Channel Spectrum Panel, and find where it says Panel Placement Mode near the bottom. Left click the same Panel Stack splitter you inserted the visualization to so its selected, then click configure button on the bottom right. Click apply, and it should show up on the right side initially. Make sure it shows up directly under ELPlaylist. Find the Panel Stack Splitter that is over the ELPlaylist, and right click > insert panel > channel spectrum panel. A: Go to Preferences (CTRL+P) > Select Columns UI > Select Layout Tab.
