◄ moc a terminal music player ►

[FakeOutdoorsman]

I use the moc global hotkeys with my windows environment, Openbox:

~/.config/openbox/rc.xml:

<keybind key="W-space">
  <action name="Execute">
    <execute>mocp -G</execute>
  </action>
</keybind>

Also for controlling system audio with the keyboard (much faster for me than a point-and-click volume control):

<keybind key="W-1">
  <action name="Execute">
    <execute>amixer -q set Master 1+ unmute</execute>
  </action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-2">
  <action name="Execute">
    <execute>amixer -q set Master 1- unmute</execute>
  </action>
</keybind>

The "W" is the Windoughs key.

thanx for that FakeOM




another area with moc is color and customization and gathering info from here and there it becomes quite easy to do

shift+T

shows all the themes available pick one and enter




they are situated in /usr/share/moc/themes/ and can therefore be easily edited with say

sudo gedit /usr/share/moc/themes/nameofthemeyouwanttotweak

personally wanted bold writing and different colours on the transparent theme so did this ...
added bleu blanc rouge on the time monitors to make it look like a French flag ::}}

and got






then to make it permanent once you have the design YOU wish for


1. create a config file in .moc folder

gedit .moc/config

and enter Theme = /usr/share/moc/themes/nameofthethemeyouwantasdefaultwhenstartingprogram then save




Now you have your own design change colours and bold

choices are


Black
Red
Green
Yellow
Blue
Magenta
White
Cyan


you can also use "bold" and "reverse" and modify the look that way too


Finding the reverse option allowed for a nifty Italian Tricolour





which i got this way

# Transparent background theme tweaked by Shan [Italian flag]

background = default default
frame = white default bold
window_title = white default bold
directory = green default bold
selected_directory = white green bold
playlist = white white bold
selected_playlist = white white
file = white default bold
selected_file = green green bold
marked_file = white default bold
marked_selected_file = white green bold
info = cyan default
status = white default
title = white default
state = white default
current_time = green default reverse
time_left = white default reverse
total_time = red default reverse
time_total_frames = white default
sound_parameters = white default bold
legend = white default
disabled = green default
enabled = white default
empty_mixer_bar = white default
filled_mixer_bar = black white
empty_time_bar = white default
filled_time_bar = black blue
entry = white default
entry_title = black white
error = red default
message = white default
plist_time = white default

2 great forum pages from Crunchbang guys with options discussed

1 2












Good additional info

================


PS also add line

 Allow24bitOutput = yes

to the config file if you wish for 24-bit to play as 24-bit ... default plays at 16-bit

also useful

SavePlaylist = yes
ShowFormat = yes
Repeat =yes
ShowHiddenFiles =yes

if any of you know of further useful tweakings to the config please say. thanx
