this should only be used on vista or windows 7 with aero enabled. it relies on using the "system" colours for the playlist*.

(*it's possible to tinker with the colour settings yourself but you're on your own as far as that is concerned. :p)

That is brilliant and thank you for sharing. I was wondering if you, or anyone else really, could tell me how to remove the album art panel. Despite using f2k for a long time, I'm still very much noob. :(

download the zip file again (using the same link above) and import the updated .fcl file. no need to copy across the other files as they are the same.

you'll see album art is still enabled by default, but if you right click it and then select "splitter settings" and then goto the "script" tab, you'll see the first line of code is....

$set_ps_global(art.on,1)

change the 1 to a 0. :)

Is it possible to change/display the wmp/windows rating from the properties panel of foobar? I also can't figure out how to display the ratings I've made in WMP in a foobar playlist. foobar seems to not recognize the RATING WMP tag. if i manually add it in each file, WMP won't show the foobar rating. Is there a method that's consistent with both WMP and foobar?

they won't play nice with each other at all. but you might want to check this thread.

i don't know if it works though. i have no interest in WMP. :p

the config works fine in english. just use the .fcl file and images folder from the download. don't use the chinese language modded components.

edit: i've attached the files. you just need columns UI.

Hey guys,

After having a look at your mono lite mods I decided to take a try on my own one.

It took me a lot of time to understand that Panel Mod ... actually its pretty easy to use (Don't shoot me for those words If I am wrong :p)

but I am having trouble with something.

I want to get that stuff in the red circle into the sidebar. (Artist Song Album) - but I have no clue how to do that.

Below is an example of what I mean. Currently there is nothing I have just sketched it up.

currently the layout is like

Panel Stack Splitter

-->Horizontal Splitter

---->Panel Stack Splitter

------>Vertical Splitter

-------->Quick search

-------->Artwork View

-------->Lyric Show

-------->Channel Spectrum Panel

-------->Playback Order

Thanks for the help :)

@ diversionk - just add an "item details" panel to your vertical splitter.

@ phend-one - yup. no problems using any of my old components. also, there's another thread in back page news about the release.

hey marc,

thanks for the answer - I dont know how I could have missed that yesterday while doing it - but now I am having one single problem. The background of Item Details is White - but the sidebar is kinda greyish. I guess some code work is needed here - cause changing the values in the options does not improve it.

Edit/ got it working

Thanks Marc !

Hey guys I've seen a ton of awesome looking foobar skins but they all seem to be in playlist or album format in the library. Is it possible to make it title/song name view? Such that all songs are arranged alphabetically? I know it looks nicer in album format but it must be possible to do title view too right? I've had to switch from WMP12 as I'm almost 100% sure that it's the reason for causing speaker drivers to crash. Thanks, btw my goal is to try out MonoLite

@xinox, you can use [] around your title formatting to hide anything that isn't set. for example, in your rating column you could use

[%rating%]

instead of seeing a "?", it will be blank. you might prefer the "?" but i thought i'd mention it. :p

now obviously you wouldn't want to use that in your filter panel as it would hide all your unrated music. but you could use this instead...

$if2(%rating%,Not set)

1 = Delete Song

2 = Not sure if I want to keep or delete it

I setup hot keys for Ctrl Alt + 1 to 5 for rating songs. I like to listen to the entire song before rating it. It's a slow going process. :p

Thanks for the tip.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,
