hey.. how did you get your songs listed like that? i'm new to foobar and was wondering if you could post your config. i'm still learning. :rolleyes:

These configs look awesome!!

Here is my current setup

Matches my theme quite nicely :p

I have a question though, is it possible to alternate the bg color by artist? Something like this (photoshopped to show concept)? I would like to display my music that way if possible...

Cream: yes..it is possible, for example:

$if($stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist),*color code, don't remember the syntax*)

However, there are more advanced ways of doing this, like:

$if($or($stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist),$stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist2)),$stricmp(%artist%,your favorite artist3),*color code, don't remember the syntax*)

Think you change bg color with $rgb(something....)...play around.

Play around with the code.

I've been using Foobar2000 for a while now. I like the fact that I DON'T have to skin it. I had switched to CoolPlayer after using Winamp because it was faster, smaller, and easier to skin. But Foobar2000 is even faster then CoolPlayer, and not much larger either.

And here's my Foobar2000...

Thank ya. And skin? I'm not using any skins, that's all Windows Classic right there. I used DisplaySet to change how Windows Classic displays. In Foobar2000, I just used the title formatting settings for that stuff. The buttons I made myself, I've been using those same ones for a long time now. I modified it though, columns_ui hates me. >_<

Adriana that looks awesome, what skin are you using?

EDIT:

_R2D2, is there a way to do it without having to code for every artist? I would hate to have to do it for all of them  :wacko:

This should work. In the Columns UI prefs, go to the Globals tab and then to colours. Now, the colour globals work like so:

text|selected text|background|selected background. So you'd have something like so:

// Text
&lt;text colour here&gt;|

// Selected Text
&lt;selected text colour here&gt;|

// Background
$if($stricmp(%artist%,$or(artist1,artist2,artist3,...)),&lt;bg colour for selected artists here&gt;,&lt;normal bg colour&gt;)|

// Selected Background
%_bg_select%

Now, if you want to add more artists to it, just edit the $or() string... like so: $or(artist1,artist2,artist3,artist4)

Yeah....that's an easier way of doing it.

I was tired when I wrote mine,

Hey guys, I'm looking for a formatting string and such that goes well with how I want my player sized (as pictured below) I've always been used to Winamp, but I love Foobar, yet I've never had my player bigger than how it is below.

Can anybody suggest how to keep my player the same size but make it a lot better looking?

    • I am actually looking forward to this..... I think Dark Ages was way more fun than the tedious expansions for Doom 2 (nu-doom).
    • Pretty sure you will be happy with the result, good luck and take it slow!
    • Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
