Just installed foo_columns and am loving it :D

Here's what I have so far

Quick question: In the playlist, how do I get each cell/row to be alternating colours?

looking for the iTunes look?

give foo_tunes a try.

it's really great, but it's got a pretty nasty bug in the latest version where closing foobar 0.8.2 still leaves the process running, and you have to manually kill it..

other than that, it's awesome and as close to iTunes you'll get from foobar2000. not to mention, a great iTunes alternative..

Nah Ive tried foo_tunes before and it wasnt my thing...but thats whats so great about foobar..choice :)

I'm happy with my foo_columns setup but alternating cell colors would add that finishing touch.

Nexx:

switch to globals-->colours

there you have some customization options (explanation: lower right 'help'-->'global help') e.g. mine looks like this:

// text

$rgb(255,255,255)|

// selected text

$rgb(255,255,255)|

// background

$if(%_isplaying%,$rgb(69,110,150),

$if($strcmp($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),1),$rgb(245,246,248),$rgb(233,237,242)))|

// selected background

$rgb(60,149,170)

look for the 2 last rgb values in 'background'

And all those requesting the config file, either here or by mass PMing me, I can't rip this other dude's work... if you want it so badly, go hunt down this Neksus guy on the HA forums yourself, ask him if he would allow me to release it, and then I'll be happy to attach it here for anyone to download... I am warning you, though: after I modified it, I didn't bother at all to remove all the redundent stuff so it's not optimized at all... but whatever.

Hey Rexy!

Nice mod of Azrael!

Permission text:

Rexy is hereby permitted to distribute his mod of Azrael formatting string for columns_ui by me, Neksus!

(if you want it optimized, send it to me and I will have a little look!)

It has taken a while, but here they are:

MY FOOBAR BUTTONS ( BASED ON ORIGINAL FIREFOX ONES).

They are here in PNG 32bit alphablending, so just convert them to BMP and go on.

Hope you like them :rolleyes:

can you post your bmp? no matter how i convert it (BMP 16/24/32), i still get white edges around the buttons..

PNG should really be implemented in columns_ui..

Um, after applying those buttons in Foobar, I get 7 buttons with 2 icons each. If you took the above aqua.bmp buttons and split every 2 icons into a single button, that is how it looks. There are no rollover/pressed effects. What do I need to do to fix this?

select "Bitmap includes mouseover images"

Rexy are you going to release it? He's given you permission.

Rexy has sent the file to me! I am going to optimize the code (remove features he does not use) and then release it!

But yesterday my PC crashed so I am just getting everything up-and-running now!

Maybe tonight maybe tomorrow! I am forced to use my laptop so I have to install foobar2000 and rip som cd's!

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
