At last I hope to have a little more time to work on this...

Is there a way to force GMB to start without the local settings (when you change for exemple the size of a pane with the mouse...) so I can see what will be the aspect of the layout the first time people use it and define the default settings to have something like in the screenshot of the first post...

for now the last version of the layout

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a usable layout for GMB

you'll find here my .layout file (to put in .config/gmusicbrowser/layouts)

the player is nearly finished and i still have to work on the browser

of course any comments or sugestions are welcome...
I know that this is a raw version and that i need to delete many things in the file...
...and finalize the default layout at start up

..but with the local customization, it will look like this (see image)

I'll edit this post with the latest version as the development goes on.

Thank you to you Quentin for providing us the best and most customizable player around

don't know if I have to put this in "customization" or in "questions" because it's directly related to the layout

Is there an option to force the FPane widget to hide the tabs to have this (see attachment) when opening GMB

regarding the default artist pic and/or default cover, is it possible to use this option with the AAboxes?

What is the option to use for this widget ?

I've tried this :

AABox3(aa=artist,group=Play:artist,nb=4,default=/home/jacques/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/nocover/nocover.png)

but it don't seem to work...maybe I have a mistake in the code, but can't find it...

a new Desktop Tip layout, very small so it can be superposed with a conky on the desktop, including a default album cover (adapt to your default cover path...;)


[Djax Desktoptip]
Type= D
Window= borderwidth=0,transparent=1
DefaultFontColor= white
Name= _"Djax Desktoptip"
VBMain = HBmain HBControl
HBVol = Vol(size=menu)
HBmain   =   2_TimeBar(text="%t-%a",minwidth=200,size=menu)
HBControl = Cover(forceratio=1,default=/home/jacques/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/nocover/nocover.png) Filler0  Prev(size=menu) Play(size=menu) Next(size=menu)  -Quit(size=menu) -HBVol
VolumeScroll   = HBVol
HSize0      = 25 Filler0

try using the "simplesearch" widget in your layout instead of a search box and configure it to "search Title, Artist, Album" or even more...

It works perfectly for me and give me everything juste as I type a few letters...

so in your exemple if I type "goril" in the simplesearch I receive all Gorillaz albums as result...

I hope to be able to post a layout soon... This program is really amazing...

I've edited my 1st post by removing the "insensitive" option and added the default cover option (with my path...)

I'de like to put a button to go to the next album (using the NextAlbum command)

Does anybody already have such a button in a layout?

Is it possible to post the code here?

Thank you in advance

This player is really astonishing and give a lot of new possibilities..

thank you...

it works perfectly with the absolute path...

Cover(default=/home/jacques/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/nocover/nocover.png)

1st contribution for GMB : 2 D-type layouts

I use URW Chancery L Medium Italic 8 as font for the 1st and Sans Italic 8 for the second (wich is the minimal tip adapted to the desktop)

[Djax Desktop]
Type= D
Name= _"Djax Desktop"
Window = transparent=1
DefaultFontColor= white

HBCover    = Cover(forceratio=1,minsize=200,default=/home/jacques/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/nocover/nocover.png))
HBprogress    = _Scale 
HBbuttons    = Filler0 Prev(button=0) Stop(button=0) Play(button=0) Next(button=0) -Length -LabelTime
HBTitle      = Label3(markup=<b>%d-%n-</b>) _Title LabelsIcons
HBArtist   = _Artist
HBAlbum      = Label5(markup=<b>%y-</b>) _Album
HSize0      = 20 Filler0

VBText      = _HBCover HBprogress HBbuttons 2HBArtist 2HBAlbum 2HBTitle

[Djax Desktoptip]
Type= D
Window= borderwidth=0,transparent=1
DefaultFontColor= white
Name= _"Djax Desktoptip"
HBVol = Vol
HBmain   =  Prev(size=menu) Play(size=menu) Next(size=menu) Cover(forceratio=1,default=/home/jacques/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/nocover/nocover.png)) 2_TimeBar(text="%t-%a",minwidth=240,size=menu)  HBVol Quit
VolumeScroll   = HBVol

is it possible to have an exemple of the use of a default cover for v1.1.5

i've tried with a nocover.png file located in a "nocover" folder located in .config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/ but i did not succeed...

PS : GMB is really the best musicplayer around....
