First question... Anyone know how I can get my Year to show up on the same line as my Album Name. And also get rid of that extra line under the Album Name and Date?

See pic http://www.bgracetfaith.net/misc/foobar2000.jpg

Next question... I used acedriver's sort string to get my albums sorted by date. The only problem is, now, whenever I go to an album that has multiple discs, it lists them with the discs combined. Example:

1. Track One Disc 1

1. Track One Disc 2

2. Track Two Disc 1

2. Track Two Disc 2

and so on.

What string can I add to the sort string to get it to list them in order of disc?

I want to upgrade to Foobar .9 beta 10 for how much cleaner it seems... One problem: how would I be able to have a "Toaster"-type thing running?!? I would even be happy with that panel thing showing the album art (but I have found nothing)!

Does anyone know of something similar to Toaster that is available for .9? If not, I'll just stick to .8 like I am doing right now... Thanks in advance for any information on this "problem" (for the lack of a better word)! :)

There are only a handful of plugins available for the beta just now, columnsui and a few other basic ones.

If you can't live without toaster and album art them you will have to stick with .83

If you want it to display like mine, you will need all of your music to be tagged with tracknumber/album/artist/title tags. If you have this, then look at the first few pages of this thread and it will tell you the basics. After this, you should have columnsUI set up, with various plugins (foo_uie_trackinfo, foo_uie_albumart). Then you need to load my config file (attached here, need to rename to .fcs), and copy the track info code into the preferences of the track info panel. Then you need to select these panels as toolbars, by clicking on one of the toolbars, selecting Panels, then the album art panel, or the track info panel.. etc.

If you need any help, post back here, I'm sure someone, even my self, will be willing to help. (Y)

Okay, the question might have been dealt with a few times already, but this thread is just too damn long to read it entirely...

Certain visual styles (quite a large number in fact) cut off the bottom of the gripper (or whatever you call the thing you can drag around to seek) in the seekbar. Is there an easy fix to this? It's bugging me right now because I have this VS which is great in every other aspect, if it weren't for this minor annoyance it'd be perfect!

Alright guys, I gotta ask this...I'm not a foobar enthusiast but I'm loving it as the days go by. Could anyone scuff up a tutorial on how to 'pimp' my foobar so it has album art and looks generally compact? using toaster would be nice too!

Thanks in advance,

Kesh.

I know my question is a little off topic because the issue has to do with my VS, but since it influences foobar as well, I will ask it in this thread:

How can I change the color of the toolbar(?), which now has the RGB colors 233,234,234 ?

My knowledge of Visual Styles tends towards 0 so please excuse my (probably stupid) question

I've a feeling that when 0.9 finally gets released it will pick up a bit.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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,
