Hi foo_pm !!

I've a request to you,

Could you add an option in settings to get a transparent background ?

I ask that because Most of new PanelsUI config manage transparency (mine too, i'm working on it  )

using Peakmeter component with transparent config under PanelsUI render so ugly beacause of the plain background in Peakmeter... so i might be forced to remove it from my config when transparency is activated

Hope i'll have not to do this, i really love your component, so please, tell me if it is possible to have soon a such option for transparent bg in your Peakmeter ?

Thanx by advance,

Br3tt

+1. This component sure looks promising. At the moment though I can't use it since I can't configure it to match my config. I'd really like to be able to set transparent background for both panel and range. And the ability to remove channel box (L, R etc.).

im no expert in this but i think it can be done with DSP couldnt it?

I'm not using any DSP components in fb2k right now, but I do have output set to 24-bit. I was just playing an mp3 file with quite a bit of compression, and I did see the peak hold go beyond 0 to about +3dB. I changed fb2k back to 16-bit output and it still happened, so I'm still confused about this.

Hi, i've decided to implement this two things (transparency + ability to remove channel box) in the next beta version. I hope it will be released in a few days, may be next week. The version will not include the vertical option or the peak fall down option. This things will be implemented one or two weeks (hopefully) later.

  thank you ! i'm waiting for it

Wow, this is great! I came in here to thank you for the great component you have made, and to as 2 things:
-If you could include a transparent mode
-If you could make a vertical mode

And now I see you're already working on it!
I do have a question for the transparent mode though: Will there be an option to make the non lit up bars transparant too?

I would use the transparant mode in this config (Actually a modified old version of Fallstaf's (The person who requested the transparancy) config.

I would like it to be transparent, so I can make the peakmeter higher, but without losing the nice transition in the reflection of the album art.

Anyway, great work on your panel!

I was waiting a component like this. Very well done and very good looking!

My suggestion for improving this great young component (with a lot of future): provide a way (doubleclick?) to reset the peak indicator of a given meter without having to Stop the music.

Thanks for making a reality of this component. Do you plan to release the source code someday?

Thank you!! Unfortunately i got "bad" news about background transparency. I spent a lot of time testing several methods to set the background transparent. But at this time there is no practicable way to implement this. GDI+ could handle all i want but is not available for client windows, so if i would use this there is a lot of message handling. Region handling otherwise could also handle it all but is to slow and need to much cpu usage. To implenemt static transparency is no problem but if a window behind the peakmeter changes, the foreground window get no notification and don't update and I think that's not what we need. So I will concentrate on the other suggestions first (vertical option , reset peak ...) and try to implement transparency later. I hope you can still use it in your great configs.

Hello,
Thank you for developing this cool component!

Real "Transparent Background" is not possible, but you can blit static bitmap to your component's background, with handling a few windows messages.
I've just implemented that in Lyric show panel

I just wanted to say thanks for this plugin! I'll be waiting for the new versions and implementations, but even now its great!

Any news on the progress of this component ?

Yes  ,  In the next days I will release a new (beta-)version. The following new features are actually implemented and will be released in the next version:
- vertical option
- separated option for the peaks (fall down, freezed, disappear)
- reset peak indicator by doubleclick and menu item
- option to change peak indicator color
- option to change channel textbox color
- option to change line color
- ability to remove channel box

Some things are actually marked for future releases:
- zoom function (menu item "+" "-")
- ability to adjust horizontal and vertical padding
- ability to show current peak level as a numeric value in a hint box when cursor moves over a bar
- transparency
- ...

WOW  Fantastic and usefull plugin. Could you please implement RMS metering at some point?

Thanks for great work...

A new version is now available
