Foo_title is a plugin created to have a little titlebar available even when foobar is minimized. You can create and share your foo_title skins.
+
=Description=
  
It requires .NET framework 2.0 to work and the syntax for skins in in .xml Supported image formats are those supported by the .NET framework - that is bmp, jpg, .png (for transparent images) and perhaps more.

+
== Header ==
+
You must start your skin with a header like this one:
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+
<skin
+
    author="'''Name of the Author'''"
+
    name="'''Name of the skin'''"
+
    width="'''width in pixel'''"
+
    height="'''Height in pixel'''">
+
 
+
The size of the skin can be overstepped as the size is adjusted automatically.
+
 
+
== Layer ==
+
A layer is an element a kind of container. You can nest (imbricate) layers
+
 
+
The global structure of layers is as following:
+
    <layer name="'''name of the layer'''" type="'''type of content for the layer'''">
+
        <geometry type="'''Geometry type'''">
+
            '''Informations related to Geometry Type'''
+
        </geometry>
+
        <contents>
+
            '''Information related to the type of content for the layer'''
+
        </contents>
+
        '''<!-- optionally, another <layer> element (or more) go here -->'''
+
  </layer>
+
 
+
== Geometry type ==
+
The are two type: full and absolute.
+
 
+
=== full ===
+
<geometry type="'''full'''">
+
    <padding left="'''32'''" top="'''8'''" right="'''32'''" bottom="'''8'''" />
+
</geometry>
+
 
+
All sizes are in pixel.
+
 
+
The full type is useful for resizement. You only have to show the padding (space between the border and the layer).
+
 
+
[[Image:Foo title4.png]] ==> [[Image:Foo title5.png]]
+
 
+
The only thing important is padding (the blue area), not the size of the yellow element itself (But you are describing the yellow element)
+
 
+
=== absolute ===
+
 
+
<geometry type="'''absolute'''">
+
    <size x="'''78'''" y="'''78'''" />
+
    <position x="'''0'''" y="'''0'''" align="'''left'''" />
+
</geometry>
+
All sizes are in pixel
+
 
+
Here, you will have to indicate not only the size of your element but also its position.
+
 
+
Alignment is also important, if you want the x value to indicate padding from the right, use align="right".
+
 
+
Resizing the window won't change the placement or the size of each "absolute" element.
+
 
+
Examples:
+
<geometry type="'''absolute'''">
+
    <size x="'''78'''" y="'''78'''" />
+
    <position x="'''13'''" y="'''1'''" align="'''left'''" />
+
</geometry>
+
[[Image:Foo title6.png]]
+
<geometry type="'''absolute'''">
+
    <size x="'''170'''" y="'''78'''" />
+
    <position x="'''13'''" y="'''1'''" align="'''right'''" />
+
</geometry>
+

+
 
+
== Contents ==
+
The contents part will indicate the kind of things contained in the layer and you will be able to specify information related to the contents type.
+
=== Graphic Elements ===
+
==== fill-images ====
+
It is typically here to define a background.
+
For this kind of content, there is 3 images needed, one for the left border, one for the center, one for the right border.
+
The attribute repeat can be "true" or "false". True means that the picture will be repeated, false, it will be stretched. (Usually, stretched images can be quite ugly)
+
 
+
<contents>
+
    <image position="left" src="'''left_back.png'''" />
+
    <image position="center" repeat="'''true'''" src="'''repeat_back.png'''" />
+
    <image position="right" src="'''right_back.png'''" />
+
</contents>
+
 
+
==== absolute-images ====
+
==== animation ====
+
==== album-art ====
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
=== Text Elements ===
+
==== text ====
+
==== scrolling-text ====
+
 
+
=== Buttons ===
