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 is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
    • 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.
    • 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.
