UPDATE: I moded the skin you see here. See the following post for a screeny. Go Here for the mod files.

I'm trying to find some minimalist skins for foobar2000. Everywhere I go I'm flooded with crowded skins that show way to much information and ALWAYS seem to shove the god-awful album art :x (I hate album art... who needs it...) in your face.

So anyways, I'm looking for around for a simple skin, not to far off from the original UI, something with some color, not just white and gray :alien: . Something that doesn't have 10 different frames or sorts all your music based on each different meta-tag in existence; something simple that just sorts everything via playlists.

Here's a good example of the kind of skin I'm talking about :) (yes this one does have album art, but its hidden away way down at the bottom, not in the center of the screen)

Thanks for any suggestions. :D

I decided to use the one I posted at the start of the thread; couldn't find anything better.

I made some modifications, added a search bar, and removed the dam album art and replaced it with a nice Foobar icon i found on the net.

If anyone wants a copy of it, go HERE

Choose your pick:

http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/media/foobar2000/

Tons of themes that would fit your requirements on there. :D

I went through every single submission in the Foobar category - the one up there was the only one that looked half decent to me. Thanks though :)

I've gotten a few requests already so I figured I would just post it here. If you have any issues installing, just post here and I'll see what I can do.

Just to be 100% clear, I did not design this skin, I only modded it a bit. All props go to the original creator Soczi @ DeviantArt

How to install?

- First download skin pack and extract it to your Foobar2000 folder - merge all folders and overwrite existing plugins (or keep newer ones if you have them)

- Go to Foobar's Preferences > Display and chose ColumnsUI from User Interface Module

- Restart Foobar (when you use ColumnsUI for the first time it'll ask you to accept all default settings)

- Now go to Preferences > Display > ColumnsUI and in "FCL importing and exporting" click on import and choose SubjectBeauty.fcl (for the original) or SubjectBeauty_modded_by_conjor.fcl (my mod) file from "foobar2000/skin". Select all settings and then OK

- TO CHANGE COLORS: Goto the ColumnsUI settings page under Layout; you can change the themes color here.

Enjoy!

Again, I didn't make this skin, I only modded it.

Note: I completly got rid of the "NoCOVER" image at the bottom. If you want that instead of the foobar2000 icon, download the original file (see my first post) and swap out all the "\components\nocover_<color>.png" images. Or put your own there lol. If you DO have album art then it will still show up there.

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
