Plugins:

Columns UI & Album List Panel

foo_custom info

Track Info Mod & Single Column Playlist

foo_cwb_hooks

Tabbed Panel Stack Mod

Make sure to check the requirements on each page (especially columns UI and track info mod). Also when you install foobar, untick ?Enable Per User Settings?. It makes it a lot easier and is what my code is written arounLayout

Rename the tab by right clicking on them, change to Visual Tab and Playlist Tab respectively. To hide right click and select the optioPlaylist Tab

The orange is the album track background, it should be linked in the config to where you have your images.

Oh, no need to quote 10,000 lines btw :p

well the thing is some images who but those don't

http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/765/foobarbi5.png

when you install foobar untick enable per user settings, or change the code and place the images in application data.

also i changed the code around and made it scalable, i just need to figure out how to do the visual tab on mine. let me know if you want it.

Yea, i'd like the code, having it scalable would be just what I was looking for

SCALABLE:

*note i haven't configured the visual tab to be scalable, so it will look like crap unless you get the correct aspect or change it yourself.*

What's your Trackinfo (and images) please? :)

I've made a few more changes since then.

Hmm this foobar customization is confusing for a beginner! :p Where do I start? Someone care to give me some links etc. to get me started.

I agree with Godsmack. I am no stranger to the skinning and modding world at all, yet I find the myriad of options and choices in FB2K to be bewildering! While there have been many configs posted, I can never get mine to look quite like theirs. There's lots of code posted, but no instructions on where to put that code. Trial and error has just produced a mess.

I admit to having a "just want it now" mentality - I see a screenshot and I just want to have my FB2K look exactly like that, with a minimum amount of work, but I understand some work needs to be done. I just wish there was some explanation of what a vertical or horizontal splitter looks like/does, how to utilize the different mods with screenshots showing examples of settings, and so forth. Tall order, I know, yet there seems to be no shortage of FB2K customization experts out there! Where did you all learn?????

Thanks guys!

Where did you all learn?????

Well, for me its quite simple :p

Just started looking at the old foobar configs (check page 1 :p), and looking at the Columns UI plugin to get where to put each thing, then, i started looking at the code, and trying to figure out what value did what, and i started getting familiar with the code :p

Altought, there are many things that i dont know how to do yet (the tagging, re-tagging, using strings for the albums that are in to the tags, etc], and of course i cant make graphics at all :p

I think that with a little of time and effor, you can understand it too, you dont need to ask that much, its just common sense, take your time, look around, change things, dont worry about messing up, i've started countless configs/mods over and over again for messing up... :p

And thats my E! True Foobar Story :p, im sure the other people learned the same way

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By cyberhash · Posted

      Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By WaltC · Posted

      All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By sphbecker · Posted

      It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
