Hey guys sorry about the noob post here but I am a foobar virgin whos having some trouble with customizing its appearance.

I absolutely love Psyphre's foobar look and I am trying to replicate it on my own system. I think I have all of the components downloaded and installed correctly, but even after two hours of reading various forums and sites I really don't know what I'm doing. I have imported the .fcs file but do i need some sort of graphic for the top bar part?

Sorry for wasting space here I'm just real confused

I thought someone was too cool for foobar? :p :laugh:

Mind sharing that config? :D

I will... soon. I'm still working on some stuff. Maybe someone know the %% for total playlist time?

I decied to try Foobar again since the developers of Winamp never fixed the bugs I reported and bloated the Media Library. Now Winamp is uninstalled. :devil:

dose: the top bit isnt a graphics, its the trackinfo panel, i think u mite need the trackinfo component for it. Once you have it, just paste the codes i put up in the last page into the trackinfo panel options. Use "$char(10)" to move the text down and spacebar to move it right.

.Stan: If your talking about the txt file, sorry cant help, i dont really know wat is is myself. Im guessing that u may need to change the .txt to .fcs and then in the foobar options, columnsUI section, import it. maybe.

em3: i could be wrong, but i dont think there is a total playlist time % %. hope im wrong tho.

@TheDarrelMan: Here's the line of code that you require to achieve the alternating color look

$if($strcmp($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(xxx,xxx,xxx),$rgb(xxx,xx,xxx))

And of course, replace the xxx with any digit from the RGB color code ranging from 0 - 255 :)

Even though I have posted in this thread lots of times I don't remember ever posting a pic of my foobar, well here it is.

I'm using the newest release candidate with Navigator_1.4.0beta3 fcs, the playlists under library playlist are all autoplaylists.

Can't wait till foobar goes final and the SDK gets released so I can get a few more components like tabs, albumart etc.

This is my foo. :)

I'm using one of Undeads configs if I remember correctly.

It's great. (Y)

Anyway, I was wondering if there's a plugin/way to bind ctrl-c on the current song playing and then paste it in firefox, putty, miranda, etc... with a single button?

yes there is..

Set a global hotkey to [context / now playing] Copy name(s) found under preference > core > keyboard shortcuts

Greetings my foobar dudes & dudettes :cool:

Here is a shot of my latest foobar. I call it.. Let's Tango :happy:

OMG, this is awesome!!!!

Plz, could you share your buttons?

and how i can align the playlists switcher in the sidebar? and how u put a "tick" in the left part?

Thanks for those who shows their interest in my foobar setup. I have always liked my foobar to be minimal,uncluttered and also easy on the eyes :)

@FalledAngel: You can easily recreate the look I have in my foobar. If you look closely enough, I did some little "cheating" :D .The tick in my playlist is just a square root character. Here, . Put that anywhere you want ;)

While the alignment of the playlist looks just like a thing you can adjust in the preferences, you actually can't. So, all you have to do is make a new playlist. But instead of renaming it to lets say, Black Metal, try it with a "space". Yes, on your keyboard. :) If you want to move the playlist more downwards, create more playlist with "spaced" names. Do remember however, the playlist in foobar 0.8.3 cannot have the same name. So, if you want to make a 2nd playlist with "spaced" name, put in 2 spaces.So on and so forth. :)

...and before anyone asks again, here's the fcs :happy:

And to finish it off, here's my Tango buttons. I did it myself :yes: It doesnt have mouseovers. So don't tick on "Bitmap includes mouseover images.

Later guys. :turned:

    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates 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, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).
