hey.. how did you get your songs listed like that? i'm new to foobar and was wondering if you could post your config. i'm still learning. :rolleyes:

These configs look awesome!!

Here is my current setup

Matches my theme quite nicely :p

I have a question though, is it possible to alternate the bg color by artist? Something like this (photoshopped to show concept)? I would like to display my music that way if possible...

Cream: yes..it is possible, for example:

$if($stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist),*color code, don't remember the syntax*)

However, there are more advanced ways of doing this, like:

$if($or($stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist),$stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist2)),$stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist3),*color code, don't remember the syntax*)

Think you change bg color with $rgb(something....)...play around.

Play around with the code.

I've been using Foobar2000 for a while now. I like the fact that I DON'T have to skin it. I had switched to CoolPlayer after using Winamp because it was faster, smaller, and easier to skin. But Foobar2000 is even faster then CoolPlayer, and not much larger either.

And here's my Foobar2000...

Thank ya. And skin? I'm not using any skins, that's all Windows Classic right there. I used DisplaySet to change how Windows Classic displays. In Foobar2000, I just used the title formatting settings for that stuff. The buttons I made myself, I've been using those same ones for a long time now. I modified it though, columns_ui hates me. >_<

Adriana that looks awesome, what skin are you using?

EDIT:

_R2D2, is there a way to do it without having to code for every artist? I would hate to have to do it for all of them  :wacko:

This should work. In the Columns UI prefs, go to the Globals tab and then to colours. Now, the colour globals work like so:

text|selected text|background|selected background. So you'd have something like so:

// Text
&lt;text colour here&gt;|

// Selected Text
&lt;selected text colour here&gt;|

// Background
$if($stricmp(%artist%,$or(artist1,artist2,artist3,...)),&lt;bg colour for selected artists here&gt;,&lt;normal bg colour&gt;)|

// Selected Background
%_bg_select%

Now, if you want to add more artists to it, just edit the $or() string... like so: $or(artist1,artist2,artist3,artist4)

Yeah....that's an easier way of doing it.

I was tired when I wrote mine,

Hey guys, I'm looking for a formatting string and such that goes well with how I want my player sized (as pictured below) I've always been used to Winamp, but I love Foobar, yet I've never had my player bigger than how it is below.

Can anybody suggest how to keep my player the same size but make it a lot better looking?

    • Have I understood it correctly that iOS 27 is an Apple Intelligence party only? Thus only for iPhone 15 Pro and higher, and especially even beter for last years iPhone? So basically all iPhone 14 and earlier become obsolete and cannot be used with Apple Intelligence and/or SirI AI?
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more by Hamid Ganji After months of rumors about Apple’s latest software updates, the company unveiled macOS 27 at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference. macOS 27 isn’t a major departure from the previous version; instead, it focuses on refining the user experience and fixing some of the annoying bugs users have reported over the past year. The new macOS 27 is named Golden Gate. When it comes to the list of new features, you should not expect a long one, as Apple has followed the Snow Leopard playbook from 2009 with macOS 27. First, the Liquid Glass interface isn’t gone; it's been updated to improve readability. It gets a new slider in settings to adjust Liquid Glass, letting you go from ultra-clear to fully tinted with ease. App icons also get an additional layer of Liquid Glass to look sharper. Smoother system animations, faster content loading, and a similar corner radius for windows are other improvements for macOS 27. With iOS 27, Apple released a standalone Siri app for iPhone users, and the app is also coming to Macs with the latest update. The all-new Siri AI app features a chatbot-style interface and aims to compete with Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It supports both text and voice prompts and provides users with access to previous conversations for reference. The Siri app can also perform a wide range of tasks, including on-device search, image generation, information summarization, and more. Users can also rely on Siri for personal context. Siri is integrated with various apps, allowing users to complete tasks with a single prompt. With the screen awareness capability, you can ask Siri about locations and images on your screen. Which devices won’t get macOS 27? If you’re still using an Intel-powered Mac, we have bad news for you. macOS 27 is only compatible with Apple Silicon chips and drops support for Intel-based Macs. Here’s a list of devices that won’t be compatible with macOS 27: Mac Pro (2019) 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 27-inch iMac (2020) 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) When can you get macOS 27? Apple developers can now access the first beta of macOS 27. However, the first public beta is expected to be released sometime next month. Users will have to wait until this fall for the stable version of macOS 27.
    • Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
