do you know a way to change the color of the text in the library tree view? I just can't find how to mod that color, and is there a way to have your playist splitter in a second tab next to the library tree view tab?

Someone added 4 tabs a few pages back:

You could always write him a PM and ask him.

My heavily modded MonoLite.

There will eventually be more buttons in the iPod tab, ones to sync, eject, send playlists and manage contents, basically every function that foo_dop supports but since it took me hours to get the text off the original tab and make 6 more tabs it might be some time before I get the buttons added.

Anyone fancy making me some buttons?

As for the color:

Right-click the playlist tree, choose Panel Preference and choose whatever you want.

Thanks, that solved it, only the selection bubble and colapse / expand arrows left

could those be VS dependent? I'm running some blue - grayish win7 theme but I haven't seen those bubbles anywhere else

This thing is sick can you tell me how to get the rating stars. Or you know just pm me a link to you config so nobody would really care if you share because they wouldnt even know.

Was wondering if someone could do me a HUGE favour?

Basically, I'd very much like to have the 'Browser' pop up menu on the left hand side of the picture; ith has 2 panels like: [ x ] [ ]

All I would like to do is have that box in the 'Library' tab which is the 4th along the bottom. I've tried messing around with code but in all honestly I have no idea of the language used.

Could someone please have a look and maybe even show me the code to insert into the config settings, which I have uploaded? - For anyone who knows what they are doing, would it not only involve copying and pasting the correct code?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

EDIT: It's also frustrating me to no end why the ALBUM RATING tag stops working randomly, but will work sometimes. tbh, I'd really like someone to just tidy up my foobar code :(

I've managed to sort everything now except from separating the playlist browse panel into my library tab. I'm certain it's just lifting the code and removing the 'if' statement about having it only show when both columns are selected.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could just help me with this and then thats it finished :)

How can I make the Library/Bio/Lyrics section wider like this one? Not the actual buttons but the tree view section below the buttons? I just want it a tad bit wider.

And another question from a noob, is there a way to make the text in my task bar scroll like you can with winamp? It would also be cool to add new buttons but I have no idea how to do that too.

Hani, how did you sort your music into Albums, Composers, Singles and Soundtracks? I'd like to know how I can organize my singles and soundtracks.

First, you look for artists that have only one song (like one-hit wonders etc.) and put them all in a folder "Singles". For OST's, tag them properly using mp3tag then use a program called mp3 folder structure maker. Add the directory containing all the OST's, put the folder structure to "%album% - %artist% [%year%]", and chose an output directory. It will copy all the files in the directory to separated folders. For albums, use "%artist% - %album% [%year%]". For composers (classical), I've removed all metadata except for titles and artist, so the folder structure is "%artist%". Maybe I'll start working on a guide on the subject, I'll pm with a link to the topic when it's done.

I figured out how to adjust the width of the panels now if someone can answer my other two questions pretty please. :laugh:

Not a customisation question, but I've recently noticed a change in the way foobar handles its File Operations.

Before, when I would use foobar to move files to another location, it would turn all my : and / characters into an _ (Underscore)

However, it now turns them into a - (Hypen)

Is it possible at all to revert this behaviour to how it was?

yes it's possible. but how to do it is another matter entirely. :laugh:

i don't think so. you can use $replace on the : but it won't work on \ or /.

maybe look at mp3tag. that has a function called $validate where you can replace all illegal filename characters with something of your choice. :)

looks awesome, trying it right now, one question though, can you use the default foobar executables? I can't understand anything that foobar says. I'd like to have the menus in English that is.

and how do I apply it?

my newest config, do anyone know if you can have an icon or image between the artist and the title in the ELPlaylist? and also how do you make a custom bitmap that works with the quick search toolbar? an example would be nice and can you put some text aligned to the right in the status bar wile still having other text aligned to the left, but only if there's place enough for both, otherwise the text aligned to the left shoul only be shown.

Regards

Stag,

my newest config, do anyone know if you can have an icon or image between the artist and the title in the ELPlaylist? and is there away to make the currently playing song be centered in the playlist if it's left unattended for a while? searching for the song currently playing in a playlist with more than 200GB of music can be a pain.

Regards

Stag,

Here's mine, you can get the config here:

Minimal - DefaultUI by ~Punio4

However, I'd like to mod it so that the playlist is shown using columns UI and shows albumart.

Can anyone help me achieve that?

Thanks for sharing man, didn't know about the facets plugin & was exactly what I came to this thread looking for ;).

But there are a few problems:

Basically, I want to browse while I listen without it disrupting the flow of playback. I don't remember what albums contain usually so I just look & then I get reminded.

I've figured out how to do it, by setting the double-click action to "create an auto-playlist".

The problem is that it creates a new playlist every time I double click on something, as opposed to opening up the same one as before. This'll just make massive redudency and it creates the problem of going back to the music you're listening to whereby the "playing" marker vanishes (because it's not actually playing that item as it's on a different playlist now.

Even if it knew to go back to the same playlist as before.. if I played some music via a full artist view then looked at a different artist, I could go back and load up just the album the current song is in but the "playing" marker won't be there when I'd expect it to be.

I don't think there's much I can do though so I'll probably just stick to playlists :/.

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
