Wow, 1.5 years. I can't go a week without changing my foobar config. Viva la revolucion! :laugh:

As for the -?, you probably need to enable this:

The font is actually Corbel 8pt bold. As for the color schemes, I'm not artistically inclined enough to come up with them on my own, so I steal them from album covers. :D Hope you enjoy.

Foobar, by default, uses APEv2 and ID3v2 tags. You can set it to use ID3v2 instead here:

thanks for clarifying that for me ;)

[phend-one]

i'm one step ahead of you ;) i've already provided the link to that VS here :shiftyninja:

Thanks! Hard to keep up with where I left off in this thread. :p

[fotuwe]

hey there!

First of all i'm completely new to foobar :/

After reading a couple of sides in this topic i decided to change my foobar's appearance.

The point is: I aint got the time to lern it by try&error. Consequently my request is if someone would share his -whole- foobar config (maybe like the whole folder or smt)?

I'd appreciate for this soooooo much

[TheUndead]

@fotuwe: it's pretty easy to put a lil make-up on foobar.. you just need to have the passion for it ;)

1) first of all... you got to have foobar.. the latest is v0.8.3. heres a link

2) then, you might want to take a look at this UI plug-in, columns_ui.. because that's what all of us use to customize the playlist. here's another link

3) after getting all that done, you can just apply an columns_ui skin that you like. you can start off with brumal's configuration. it's really good for starters :)

..and... here's my latest foobar... courtesy of brumal ;)

[fotuwe]

thx so far TheUndead!

After applying brumal's cfg the appearance changed. Would you mind posting also yours config?

[TheUndead]

mine's exactly the same as brumal's. just in a different color scheme. which you can easily change. here's a picture. just replace the highlighted number (number 1 in the pic) with any of the numbers, 1 to 17. those are the color schemes brumal has made ready.

Where can I change the greenr ectangle color, and the font of playlist (columns UI)

[crp]

Is there eny way to add in playback order to play only rated songs?

[zoidbergslo]

Under the "Playlist view" tag click "Playlist view display settings" from there you can set "Playlist font" and "Selected item frame colour"

[brumal]

Update to my fooby config:

- Added columns to show missing tags, file type & play count

- Added audioscrobbler submission indicator

- Made track time display configurable (1:23, -3:37, 1:23/5:00, -3:37/5:00)

- Streamlined track info

- Added audioscrobbler submission indicator to track info

- Added color schemes to track info to match columns config

- Added 4 new color schemes

Thanks to those that have given me feedback on this little labor of fooby love. I hope some of you find it usable (and not too ugly) :laugh:

No, but you can dance around it by setting up a playlist for only rated songs. Using the Playlist Generator component, you can use the following string to generate only-rated playlists:

rating IS *

If you're using the 0.9 betas, you could go one up and use the Autoplaylist component. Which is similar to Playlist Generator, but it automatically updates the playlist based on the query. So, whenever you rate a song it'll get added to the autoplaylist.

[russellc]

Is there a way to make it so that when it's going to the next song it fades in and out instead of stopping nd starting?

nevermind, that was awhile ago lol

I swear, I am developing an addiction to tweaking foobar. It's just too damn configurable us OCD types. :wacko:

The theme is Frutiger Klassik. It's just a tweaked windows classic style. Should be able to find it in the Completed Visual Styles topic.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad someone is enjoying this thing. :)

[Korneliouz]

Your config is awesome Brumal, I was using Azrael with my own config but yours is very nice :)

<elvis> Thank ya, thank ya very much </elvis> :cool:

I appreciate the feedback. I should be releasing another update later this week with some new features and different color schemes. I realize some of the schemes included now are arse-ugly, but I was tired of seeing the standard ITunes look in every foobar screenshot, so I tried to do something different. I will be including a custom color scheme maker in the next release.

[deranger]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a version of columns ui for foobar beta 9 ?

i cant use the stable one because it doesnt display all of my native language fonts right, and the beta

one does

[Badtz-Maru]

thats the best I can get it :pinch:
