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!

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
