Its been a long time i had customized foobar and so i was not able to successfully
apply his creation to my foobar in the first go.
So as i found out a exact method i am posting a guide here on how to apply
this excellent interface to ur foobar.
This is guide is written by me after finding how to appropriately apply this
as those who are new to foobar might find it difficult what to do.
=====================================================
GUIDE
=====================================================
Firstly uninstall ur current foobar.
Download the latest version i.e. 0.9.4.3 and install it.
From Here: http://www.foobar2000.org/foobar2000_0.9.4.3.exe
Then Download everything mentioned on the first page
===================================================
1.> Copy all components to "components" folder
Components needed:
Foo_playcount
lyric show modded
Foo_peakmeter
Panels_UI 0.13.8
Cwb Hooks
Album Art panel
Columns UI
Album List
Lyrics DB
QuickSearch Toolbar
Optional:
WSH Panels (Unstable. May crash your foobar)
WMPVis (Unstable, see here)
Extract all the dll's to the components folder in foobar directory
C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components
===================================================
2.> Then DOWNLOAD config [Foo_AvA_1.03_by_dawxxx666_24.06.2007][most important file]
Link: Send big files the easy way with sendspace. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!
Right click the rar and extract to a folder "X".
X= any folder[but dont extract to the foobar folder]
then you will get a file "Foo_AvA_1.03_by_dawxxx666_24.06.2007" with a
foobar icon , which is a self extracting archive now dont extract it to the
foobar folder instead extract this to any folder and this will be the files in that
folder.
Install all the fonts from the Foobar_Fonts.exe which is a self extracting archive.
Let this folder be called "X"
===================================================
3.> Create a folder named "PanelsUI" in foobar's directory
Like this C:\Program Files\foobar2000\PanelsUI
Copy images folder , DAWXXX666_AVA_preferences.dx6 , DAWXXX666_AVA_1.03 from folder "X" to the C:\Program Files\foobar2000\PanelsUI path.
=====================================================
Now the most important part.
4.> Now start foobar and select panels ui
Now at this stage click "Ctrl + P" and you will get this screen.
Here Select Panels UI at the side and then select DAWXXX666_AVA_1.03.pui
Click Save All and you are done.
Hope this info will help you setup ur foobar ava
Enjoy Foo AvA
