Hey guys is there anyway to download missing artwork through foobar? since im missing some :p

http://www.imagemule.com/uploads/untitled-1DGkJ.png

Here's my foobar , thanks to capric0rn for helping me :) anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate to make it better.

foo_discogs or foo_coverdownloader

try this, i just added nokeepaspect to the imageabs2 function so it will stretch the covers to 300x300. i recommend getting larger covers though so they dont look like crap when you scale them.

I've made a full screen visual for trackinfo that should (hopefully) work at any resolution.

FSViSUAL.jpg

The code's a bit big so I put it in a text file.

FSViSUAL.txt

This is best used in a tab so you can switch back to a playlist.

There are some things that might need to be altered to fit your own settings, like the image locations etc, especially the "E:\Audio\Music\%artist%\%artist%.jpg" bit. That looks for an image of the artist, alter that to your personal preference.

I couldn't get the 'if file doesnt exist..' thing to work, so the first few lines might load 2 or 3 layers of background images, if anyone can edit that bit to make it work better, that would be great.

Uses the Gentium fonts

Images: FSViSUAL.zip

Enjoy :)

oo, my turn, my turn! :)

following trends, new setup for vista..

This is usually ran full screen 1280x1024, so it doesn't look so cramped normally, but for the sake of a screenshot i made it a good size,

<cut>

the controls are all functional, and yes it's very wmp11 inspired :)

Any chance of uploading the button images only?

The code won't be a problem, but I can't recreate the glassy effect on the wmp-buttons

I'm just wondering why sometimes some of my songs don't show up on my browser. Also, when I select what I want, it doesn't show on the playlists. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

What program you use to show this "things" above the taskbar ?

If Samurize - please, give me link for your config. :)

Sorry, I lost the images and my whole config when reinstalling windows xp, forgot to backup the foobar directory on my c:\

I recreated pretty much the same code/config for my Gilouche setup, however, with new images.

I'll be distributing that soon enough :)

Anyone can up a "ready to go" eye candy foobar vor me?

It's against the foobar eula to redistribute whole foobar setups.

I could point you in the direction of my easy guide, however - http://foobar.lolwhat.org

If Samurize - please, give me link for your config. :)

It's AveDesk + Sysstats while the album info is CD Art Display. Most of it is inspired by acedriver so I just arranged it to my liking. Search for him on the internet and you get a fair idea of what to do.

I've also figure out how to display my library though now I'm wondering on how I should arrange it properly. I would like to arrange my music by track, disc and then album as I have quite a few MP3's with multiple albums. Can anyone help me?

Oh well, thanks anyway :) I've tried my best to recreate them; used bbmartini's images as a template...

My vista layout:

vistabluefoodm0.th.jpg

mostly em3's layout... goldbar now functions as a progressbar ;)

Alan that looks great in combination with that classic look.

Could you release SCPL config and 3DCC :)

Great bands also, my favorite one is second from the top ;)

Thanks!

Here's the 3DCC.

And for the foobie, check out your inbox ;)

^Dude, that looks pretty sweet. But you know, I think you should add glass to the bottom instead of a background image. Glass is supported by the new foo_ui_panels component.

Last time i checked it, was a pain in the ass to code :p

I coudlnt get anything done hah

    • it would've been better to just have a screenshot with claude running instead of using a generic thumbnail that doesn't fit the narrative.

    • ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.2 by Razvan Serea ExplorerPatcher is a versatile and free tool that allows you to tweak and enhance the Windows Explorer. It comes with a range of useful features, including the ability to add new context menu items, change file name colors, and enable hidden features. Feature summary Choose between Windows 11 or Windows 10 taskbar (with labels support, small icons and lots of customization). Disable Windows 11 context menu and command bar in File Explorer and more. Open Start to All apps by default, choose number of frequent apps to show, display on active monitor and more. Choose between the Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows NT Alt-Tab window switcher with customization. Lots of quality of life improvements for the shell, like: Skin tray menus to match Windows style, make them behave like flyouts and center them relative to the icon. Choose action when left and/or right clicking the network icon. Revert to the Windows 7 search box in File Explorer, or disable Windows Search altogether. Disable immersive menus and use mitigations that help you run the real classic theme without glitches. Discover the program's full range of features by reading this wiki article. ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.2 changelog: Tested on OS builds 22621.4317, 22631.7079, 26100.6899, 26100.8037, 26200.8246, 26200.8457, 26300.8493, and 28000.2113. TIP: Windows Defender no longer flags ExplorerPatcher. It is no longer needed to configure Defender exclusions. Enjoy! Important Fixed Windows 10 taskbar and Start menu crashes on builds 26220.8474 (Beta) and 26300.8493 (Experimental). Update ExplorerPatcher as soon as possible. Without this update, Explorer and the Windows 10 Start menu may stop working on future builds. Microsoft removed Windows 10 Start menu components from StartTileData.dll on these builds, so the Windows 10 Start menu option has been removed where it is no longer supported. Temporary workaround: replace C:\Windows\System32\StartTileData.dll with the version from build 26xxx.8457 (x64/ARM64). This may stop working in future builds. Work is ongoing to restore Windows 10 Start menu support. Highlights Fixed Windows 10 battery flyout crashes on build 25951+. Network flyout buttons reverted to pre-24H2 behavior as a side effect. Taskbar location changes now apply instantly. Windows 11 taskbar auto-hide is no longer modified when Explorer starts. "Open Start in All apps by default" is now hidden when using the new Windows 11 Start menu. Fixed Windows 10 Start menu crashes on builds 21996–22000.51. Fixed Regedit crashes when switching to thumbnail view in registry import/export dialogs. Improved compatibility with recent Windows builds, including 26H1 ARM64. Improved ARM64 performance. Added Greek translations. ep_taskbar Now supports all 43 Windows 11 languages. Fixed issues in the system tray and other components. Updated DLL naming scheme for mod developers. Improved TrayUI compatibility and vtable stability on builds with multiple ITrayUI revisions. Fixed a taskbar initialization deadlock. Windows 10 Start Menu Added a new tile layout engine to restore support removed in build 26xxx.8474. Restoration is currently partial: Tiles may overlap when pinned using "Pin to Start". Restarting StartMenuExperienceHost.exe or explorer.exe fixes the layout. Further improvements are planned. Other Changes Added an executable blacklist to prevent shell extensions from loading in selected applications. Updated Windows 10 Start menu animation support for ARM64 builds 28xxx.2149+. Please consult the README for more details.

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 finally stops trusting a critical system threat by Sayan Sen This week Microsoft released the Patch Tuesday updates for June 2026 with KB5094126 on Windows 11 25H2, 24H2, and KB5093998 on Windows 11 23H2. On Windows 10 22H2 it's under KB5094127. Alongside the announced release notes for the new builds, Microsoft has revealed another change that is coming to Windows with these new releases. It has been confirmed that custom folders are getting a significant change with the June 2026 updates as such folders or folder names defined by desktop.ini will no longer appear after this update is successfully installed. While you may inititally think this is a bug with the new release, Microsoft has stated that this is in fact "expected behaviour" in its new support article regarding this which Neowin spotted today while browsing. Essentially it's a security hardening measure such that custom folder presentations are treated as potentially unsafe whenever Windows is not sure about their origin and whether that desktop.ini folder can be trusted or not. Here is list of such untrusted files and folders: Files downloaded from the internet that carry Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW). Files copied from certain remote locations, such as some WebDAV or HTTP-based locations. Files on network paths that are not classified as intranet or trusted by zone policy. For those who may not be familiar, Desktop.ini is a special configuration file used by Windows to customize the appearance and behavior of individual folders. Basically Windows can read specific instructions stored in Desktop.ini instead of displaying every folder with the same default settings. This can be used to apply custom icons, thumbnail images, localized folder names, and such informational tooltips (infotip). The file can also influence certain folder-specific behaviors and properties. It is typically stored as a hidden system file within a folder that has been designated to support Desktop.ini customization. However, because Windows Shell automatically reads and applies these attributes whenever a customized folder is opened, they have historically (since the Windows XP days) presented an attack surface as a result of an unchecked buffer in the Shell component responsible for extracting custom attributes from Desktop.ini files. As such an attacker could create a specially crafted Desktop.ini containing a malicious or corrupted attributes and place it on a network share. So if a user were to browse that folder, Windows would automatically process the file, potentially triggering a buffer overflow. This could allow arbitrary code to run with the same permissions as the logged-in user. Hence a seemingly harmless folder could become a security risk when their contents are not properly validated. For admins and users alike looking to manage this behaviour, Microsoft has shared a few ways. One of them is to assign a trusted mark on the folder in case you are sure of its source. Secondly a policy can be used to revert back to the previous state. Finally, the MOTW can be removed too to indicate to Windows that this is a safe file. The company explains: Option 1: Add the source to Trusted Sites (Recommended) If the affected content is stored on a known internal or managed source, add that source to the Trusted Sites list. Once the source is treated as trusted, Windows processes desktop.ini from that source normally. This keeps the protection in place for other locations and is the lower-risk option. Option 2: Use policy to restore previous behavior Organizations that need broader compatibility can enable the policy Allow the use of remote paths in file shortcut icons.Enabling this policy restores the pre-June 2026 behavior for affected remote or untrusted scenarios. Option 3: Check for and remove the Mark of the Web (MotW) If the desktop.ini file has a Mark of the Web (MotW), Windows may treat it as coming from an untrusted source and block customization. Verify whether MotW is present and, if appropriate, remove it from the desktop.ini file. This can restore expected behavior, but should only be done for trusted content, as it removes the associated security protection. To remove the MotW tag, open PowerShell and run one of the following commands: For a single desktop.ini file: Unblock-File "C:\Your\Folder\Path\desktop.ini" For all desktop.ini files in a folder: Get-ChildItem "C:\Your\Folder\Path" -Recurse -Filter desktop.ini -Force | Unblock-File Microsoft has warned though against using a broad opt-out using the provided policy as it reduces protection against potentially malicious remote folder-customization content. As such the tech giant recommends trusting only controlled internal sources and keeping trust settings as strict as possible. You can check out the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
