Hey guys sorry about the noob post here but I am a foobar virgin whos having some trouble with customizing its appearance.

I absolutely love Psyphre's foobar look and I am trying to replicate it on my own system. I think I have all of the components downloaded and installed correctly, but even after two hours of reading various forums and sites I really don't know what I'm doing. I have imported the .fcs file but do i need some sort of graphic for the top bar part?

Sorry for wasting space here I'm just real confused

I thought someone was too cool for foobar? :p :laugh:

Mind sharing that config? :D

I will... soon. I'm still working on some stuff. Maybe someone know the %% for total playlist time?

I decied to try Foobar again since the developers of Winamp never fixed the bugs I reported and bloated the Media Library. Now Winamp is uninstalled. :devil:

dose: the top bit isnt a graphics, its the trackinfo panel, i think u mite need the trackinfo component for it. Once you have it, just paste the codes i put up in the last page into the trackinfo panel options. Use "$char(10)" to move the text down and spacebar to move it right.

.Stan: If your talking about the txt file, sorry cant help, i dont really know wat is is myself. Im guessing that u may need to change the .txt to .fcs and then in the foobar options, columnsUI section, import it. maybe.

em3: i could be wrong, but i dont think there is a total playlist time % %. hope im wrong tho.

@TheDarrelMan: Here's the line of code that you require to achieve the alternating color look

$if($strcmp($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(xxx,xxx,xxx),$rgb(xxx,xx,xxx))

And of course, replace the xxx with any digit from the RGB color code ranging from 0 - 255 :)

Even though I have posted in this thread lots of times I don't remember ever posting a pic of my foobar, well here it is.

I'm using the newest release candidate with Navigator_1.4.0beta3 fcs, the playlists under library playlist are all autoplaylists.

Can't wait till foobar goes final and the SDK gets released so I can get a few more components like tabs, albumart etc.

This is my foo. :)

I'm using one of Undeads configs if I remember correctly.

It's great. (Y)

Anyway, I was wondering if there's a plugin/way to bind ctrl-c on the current song playing and then paste it in firefox, putty, miranda, etc... with a single button?

yes there is..

Set a global hotkey to [context / now playing] Copy name(s) found under preference > core > keyboard shortcuts

Greetings my foobar dudes & dudettes :cool:

Here is a shot of my latest foobar. I call it.. Let's Tango :happy:

OMG, this is awesome!!!!

Plz, could you share your buttons?

and how i can align the playlists switcher in the sidebar? and how u put a "tick" in the left part?

Thanks for those who shows their interest in my foobar setup. I have always liked my foobar to be minimal,uncluttered and also easy on the eyes :)

@FalledAngel: You can easily recreate the look I have in my foobar. If you look closely enough, I did some little "cheating" :D .The tick in my playlist is just a square root character. Here, . Put that anywhere you want ;)

While the alignment of the playlist looks just like a thing you can adjust in the preferences, you actually can't. So, all you have to do is make a new playlist. But instead of renaming it to lets say, Black Metal, try it with a "space". Yes, on your keyboard. :) If you want to move the playlist more downwards, create more playlist with "spaced" names. Do remember however, the playlist in foobar 0.8.3 cannot have the same name. So, if you want to make a 2nd playlist with "spaced" name, put in 2 spaces.So on and so forth. :)

...and before anyone asks again, here's the fcs :happy:

And to finish it off, here's my Tango buttons. I did it myself :yes: It doesnt have mouseovers. So don't tick on "Bitmap includes mouseover images.

Later guys. :turned:

    • Excuse me for having an opinion, fella'... (Why am I not surprised?...) Congrats on your very informative post however...
    • By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
