Yeah, sorry. I mean't in the browser panel. I think it's possible, I've seen it in a few columns ui-configs as far as I know, but maybe that was just files that were tagged correctly.

Anyway, here's mine. Nothing special, but it works for me.

I want to be able to display the name of the current playlist in the titlebar of foobar and in the system tray icon's tooltip. I've tried %_playlist_name% and %playlist_name% with no success. I'm currently utilizing Columns UI. Is there any way to do this?

I also still need help... have zlib and pnglib properly installed, but can't use pngs as buttons, unless individually (one image for each button). Foobar 0.9. Help?

Btw., very nice setup there _R2D2.

That's the way it works. Foobar no longer uses one big image for the buttons, but one for each. I don't know why it couldn't have both, but anyway. Just split them in photoshop or whatever.

Thanks. It's nothing special really, but I'm glad that you like it.

*edit*

Nice bsommer, but why transparency on the window? Nice taste in music btw.

Hello :)

I've been a long time user of Foo 0.8 so 0.9 is quite new for me - so many plugins and possibilities.

This is my first day with 0.9 ... and from 8:30 am ( it's 9:51;) ) i have this :

I'm quite happy with it,but I wanted to fill the space right of the buttons

So I ask You this :

what's that on below screen ( red marked )

foobar235dr8ht.th.jpg

Is that a plugin , or some new thing implented in 0.9?

... and can I put that on the right buttons side and can I resize it?

Thanks for the answer :)

that's trackinfo panel, you can put it anywhere and any size

to fit it into your layout, change the base to vertical splitter then add 2 horizontal splitter under it.

vertical splitter
|--horizontal splitter
|	|--button
|	|--trackinfo
|
|--horizontal

your current layout goes under the 2nd horizontal splitter

Thank You:) It worked

Now I have to find a proper string:)

One last questions. Is there a way to change the colour under the buttons. I already painted the *.png files and it didn't worked :(

BTW : Thanks Moglenstar for those buttons. Great work !

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
