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 :/.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.
