Foobar2000 Customization Topic

[EwanP]

Just about done messing with this one.

Screenshot shows mixed album/singles, various artist album, indicator for missing tags T! and missing replaygain R! and lovely puke-green colour scheme. :x

*drools* Dude, that is the shizzle. Any chance of distributing that config any time soon? :D

Quick and easy question:

Where do I get the pictures for the album art? I remember Winamp did this automatically by stealing off of the internet. I was wondering if the plug-in foo_albumart would do the same.

I'm new to foobar, I still can't completely get the Global Keys to work (The Next/Previous/Play/Pause/Stop buttons on my keyboard only work when foobar is in focus).

Trying to match my player to b4nts Reluna Aluminum desktop Visual Theme. I'm finding a hard time getting the best colours... It's all up to my artistic perception I guess... (If I have any)

No direct plugin avalible but there are programs that does most of the work for you. Here are one good option that was started over at HA:

Album Art Aggregator

Going for something simple. Finally found a small and nice font to use. :)

Smoke small buttons. (with mixed colors)

foo_uie_albumart

foo_uie_trackinfo

And some simple columns with colored text.

Hello Iam Interested In Foobar,

There's mine, various scraps of configs "borrowed" from people (recently miscellanea & brumal) over the years and a few of my own.

I still need help to put Album Art functioning. I've reinstalled foobar and album art, it shows up in the components list in Preferences, but he doesn't show up in the main window as a panel. How can I solve this? :(

Hello there rich, here's a link with all the necessary plug-ins you were asking for, and more.

Foobar plug-ins

After you've got the necessary plug-ins, follow this beginners guide by moglenstar:

After that I can guarantee you'll go on a customising frenzy.

[SaLiVa]

I need some help.

I made some custom buttons in Adobe Photoshop - Sliced each one, Saved As Web (All png-24) and I try to customize my buttons with them. When I finally finish putting each image to each button - The buttons don't appear. They're invisible.

Also, I still have a problem with Foobar not coming up when I click on the Foobar2000 Quick Launch Icon. The System Tray requires three clicks for it to appear... (Thank you foo_notaskbar). And my Logitech S510 keyboard won't play/pause/change tracks when Foobar isn't on focus...

Thanks much.

[acedriver]

make sure each button has the same size.

[SaLiVa]

make sure each button has the same size.

32x32... Too big? Does foobar have any size restrictions?

[acedriver]

not sure about size restriction, cause I saw config with big buttons

edit: do you have libpng library installed?

Edited June 13, 2006 by acedriver

[SaLiVa]

No. Thanks for the quick response.

Now to figure out this problem with the keyboard...

[acedriver]

if you need libpng library, get it here

as for you keyboard problem, take a look at this thread

Thanks much, got it to work.

Found out I actually need to assign the keys to Foobar2000. All this after removing SetPoint, trying AutoHotKey and tweaking foobar till frustration took over... I wished there was a Definitive Guide To All Things Foobar or something... Would make life so much more easier. Same goes with Miranda (That and webcam support).

But it's more fun this way. I surf the net more!

Set this layout in columns UI Mr_Skeme:

vertical splitter
|---horizontal splitter
|   |--albumart
|   |--track info
|
|---horizontal splitter
|		|---Playlist tabs
|
|---horizontal splitter
|		|---Columns Playlist
|
|---horizontal splitter
	|---Spectrum analyser

Should get you the same look as lassekongo83 has. Might be able to do in a nicer/easier way but quick and dirty this gets you where you want ;) The rest of the info (if you need/want more) I think you have to get from him more directly.

[spex04]

vertical splitter
|---horizontal splitter
|   |--buttons
|   |--seekbar
|
|---horizontal splitter
|   |--albumart
|   |--track info
|
|---playlist tabs
|   |---columns playlist
|
|---spectrum analyser

That's 'nicer/cleaner' as you put it :p

Doesn't really make a difference though.. But why did you put all them horizontal splitters?

[mr_skeme]

wooo thank you, both very helpful :D

Thanks spex04 and I missed seekbar so you corrected me even more.

And why? Bad habbit as personally I have a simular setup but I only show the columns playlist. The space above and below it are on autohide so they get their own splitter. :p

[brumal]

Here it is.

Download

Playlist switcher config included

Mixed album/single mode based on TOTALTRACKS tag

Add -s- to a playlist to force singles mode

Indicators for missing tags or replaygain (can be toggled off)

Natural language last played column, thanks to topdownjimmy

3 color schemes included

Suggestions, comments and bug reports are most welcome. Questions like "How do I use this?", "Why doesn't mine look like yours?" and "Can you just zip your foobar directory and send it to me?" are not so welcome and will probably be ignored.

[+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹]

does anyone have a copy of foo_fullscreen they could send me, the only version I can find is in russian

A small bump for my request.
