Woaaah !

Better and better again !

Closed to 0-default layout !

Just one : when you hide left panel, you hide too progression bar and play/next/previous buttons
May be the buttons could appear (when you close the left pannel, or always) in the vertical right buttons panel.
And for the progression bar, I don't. Perhaps on the top or the bottom of the queue/libray panel ?

Edit : sorry : I hadn't see the "alternative position for the replay buttons". Very very nice !

I don't have "Visuals" ? Is it a plugin ?

Do you want some help for the french traduction of the arkanoid menu ?

You need gstreamer as audio output

The layout will be in the Main Branch. Then it can be translated as normal.

Nice ! (IMO the progression could be better, visually, in the right list panel and the button in the right button panel, but this layout is closed to perfection)
I've got yet gstreamer output but no visuals (not usefull for me, but it's for testing)

You need a version after 02/09/2011. The current version of the shimmer project is from 02/03/2011

I put a finger in the layout customization.
Take a look : I put the time bar on the top on your right panel (usually I close the left panel) and the play/previous/next in the button right panel (and I delete the stars).
I fail to add a new button : randomize queue. I try to put the QueueItem menu with your classics button to manage the queue, but it doesn't appear as a menu, and the only thing I want on this menu is the randomize choice. Could you help me to do that ?

I hope I understand you correctly. You want to insert the menu QueueItem in the right bar? Currently, it is not possible to use a button to open a menu.
Title: Re : Layout - Arkanoid 2
Post by: mgrubert on February 16, 2011, 19:34:44
I try to put the menu, yes, but in this menu, I only want the "suffle queue".
There is no button for that, I guess. Is it possible to create a new button ?

Do you mean this:
MBQueueList = LSortItem(label="Sort",group=2)       # label isn't necessary, group 2 is the queue in the Arkanoid 2 layout
Title: Re : Layout - Arkanoid 2
Post by: mgrubert on February 16, 2011, 22:33:27
It doesn't work : i put this in :
NBSidebar1 = (tabpos=left90,typesubmenu='PC') \
                        VBQueueList \
                        VBPlayList

                        VBQueueList = (tabtitle=_"Queue") \
                            EditListButtons(group=2,small=1,relief=none) \
    MBQueueList = LSortItem(label="Sort",group=2) \
                            _QueueList(cols="queuenumber titleaa",colwidth="queuenumber 20",sort="path album:i disc track file",songtree=1,group=2)

                        VBPlayList = (tabtitle=_"Playlist") \
                            _SongList(cols="playandqueue titleaa",colwidth="queuenumber 20",sort="path album:i disc track file",mode=playlist,group=1,follow=1)

And I just see "sort" without no effect under the queue buttons.
Same think with :
NBSidebar1 = (tabpos=left90,typesubmenu='PC') \
                        VBQueueList \
                        VBPlayList

                        VBQueueList = (tabtitle=_"Queue") \
                            EditListButtons(group=2,small=1,relief=none)  MBQueueList = LSortItem(label="Sort",group=2) \
                            _QueueList(cols="queuenumber titleaa",colwidth="queuenumber 20",sort="path album:i disc track file",songtree=1,group=2)

                        VBPlayList = (tabtitle=_"Playlist") \
                            _SongList(cols="playandqueue titleaa",colwidth="queuenumber 20",sort="path album:i disc track file",mode=playlist,group=1,follow=1)

I just want to see a button after the queue buttons existing yet on the queue tab on the right area to be able to suffle the queue.

Hi,

I add several things in the right button panel :

VBMainMenuBar = \
               HBVolume \
               HSeparator2 \
      Play1(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"Play/Pause") \
      Stop(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"Stop") \
      Prev1(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"Previous Song") \
               Next1(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"Next Song") \

      HSeparator3 \
      Fullscreen(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34) \
      Playlist(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34) \
      HSeparator5 \
      Sort(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34) \
      10Filter(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34)  \
      Queue(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34)  \
      ResetFilter \ #because I delete the button in the top of the Songtree, I just need this
      MBQueue \

      
               -Quit(size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"Quit") \
               -Button4(click1="OpenCustom(ArkanoidHelp)",relief=none,size=button,stock=gtk-help,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"Help") \
      -Pref(stock=gtk-preferences,size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34) \
               -MBViews \
               -HSeparator1 \
      -MBLayouts \
      -HSeparator4 \
               -Button1(click1="RunPerlCode(::ChooseAddPath(0,1))",stock=gtk-add,size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"Add folder ...") \
      -Button2(click1="RunPerlCode(::IdleCheck)",stock=gtk-refresh,size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"check now") \
      -Button3(click1="RunPerlCode(::IdleScan)",stock=gtk-zoom-in,size=button,minwidth=34,maxwidth=34,tip=_"scan now")

MBLayouts = SMLayouts
   
         SMLayouts = (label=_"A",minwidth=34,maxwidth=34) \   
              LayoutItem    #to switch beetween layouts

          MBQueue = SMQueue
         
         SMQueue = (label=_"Q",minwidth=34,maxwidth=34) \   
             QueueItem
#to access to the "suffle queue"

The SMmenu aren't very beautiful (background is black, the "buttons" are letters) and not very useful (3 clicks to access to the functionality) but it works.

Thanks Friend. You ROCK!! :)
isn't there a way to have progress bar despite hiding the left pane just like the alternative replay buttons
not necessary , just wishful thinking.
once again, can the search bar search for "ANY TEXT" from the whole metadata including the comments or lyricist or custom fields?
thanks again

Open the "->"-menu and click "Alternative position for timebar"

The other menu choice would be nice in the same place :

HBQueueActions = MBQueue -QueueActions

                MBQueue = QueueItem

But QueueItem has a black background

hi ,
same layout works fine on my laptop but creating problem with my desktop on same distro same version
(i tried latest version GMB from quentin's page on GIT and reverted back to shimmer version also) there is no --> button and the right bar looks clumsy

Hi
posting after a long time
updated to natty, installed GMB from andreas launchpad repo
using Arkanoid 2 layout
>>but somehow space economy is compromized. (see image) probably some theme problem. moreover can i reduce the fontsize?

>>posting a mediamonkey default layout . it is more or less same as your itunes ++ can u make a few changes to arkanoid 2 or itunes ++ for some added functionality
1. add two buttons in menubar to add the selected song to either end of queue or just after current playing song
2. in mediamonkey , the vertical tablists contain genre artist and album and the pane below shows the filtered song
when i select say, POP, the right sided panes show only the artist featuring in POP and the rightmost shows only albums in pop
now when i select an artist in second tab, the rightmost tab only shows albums from that artist in POP.
all this time the large pane below the tabs keeps updating the relevant songs
all these features are available in GMB but in different layouts. can this be achieved in a single layout, preferably Arkanoid 2
i hope i am able to explain my queries
thanks

To make the side pannel more explicative :

* First you can add tab :
- right-click on the side pannel and choose "show tabs"
- right-click on the tittle-tab now showed and choose "add tab"

* Second you can add some detail in each tab :
- right-click on the pannel and choose "options" and choose "define regroupment 1"
- right-click on the pannel and choose "options" and choose "option regroupment 1"

All of those personnalisation are avaliable in all browser-panels

Take a look :
