just wondering for all of you who've managed to get album art into the playlist via single columns component. Is this component still forced to use paths relative to the main foobar directory?

Nope, theres a new image function which can resize (keeps same aspect ratio), and use absolute paths.

So I'm kind of confused.

How do i get the skins that I see?

All I see is posted pictures and a few lines of code. but none of the codes correspond to the skin's I'm looking for.

Or is this just a type of showing off thread?

Foobar doesn't really use "skins" as much as a sort of coded interface that customizes layout and color. Which skins are you looking for?

hey anyone can tell me how to add album images?

please give a exemple

This only works with the single columns playlist & if your album covers are called folder.jpg & are in the directory with your music.

$imageabs2(80,80,,,,,3,2,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg,)

This works for the header group only. The image will be 80 pixels x 80 pixels & placed 3 pixels from the side edge & 2 from the top.

Hope that helps.

Cheers :)

Mine wins for minimalism :p

They both win for using my code/images :D

Have you installed the libpng and zlib .dll's? They enable custom image support. Put them in your /foobar2000/ root directory. Get them here.

Uuuuhh!!! Great!!! I'm really stupid, i know... :blush:

That was the problem, now it works! Thank you for your help! :D

Another question: the 5 stars rating doesn't work: i see the stars, they light up if i move the pointer on them, but it seems like f2k can't read the id3 tag... do i need a .dll for the support to the id3v2 tag? :|

If so, where can i find it? I looked for it with Google, but i wasn't able to find a working link. :(

P.S.: i apologyze for my english, i know it's not perfect... :p

    • Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been delivering a lot of changes for Xbox Insiders to test in recent weeks, and today, another wave of changes aimed at consoles was announced. The latest drop is testing features that let users find mutual friends easier, customize their UI, and streamline wishlisting. When looking at an Xbox friend's profile, an option will appear to see mutual friends, perhaps to get a refresher on how you know that person. This will depend on the privacy settings. The same applies to when checking the profile of a person who is not in the friends list, offering a quick way to find out if this is a known connection. Next, Microsoft is giving the option to change how the 'Home' and 'Games & Apps' sections show off available games. There is a new poster style that users can enable for an "immersive library experience." "We’ve also made personalization settings easier to navigate and customize by separating Home and My Games & apps into separate sections," adds the company. "And to make personalization even more accessible, we’ve added new shortcuts throughout menus, so you can quickly jump in and tailor your XBOX experience the way you want." Moreover, heading to the store page of an unreleased game will now offer players the option to wishlist directly from the game card. Lastly, Microsoft is making a change to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles that are in Sleep mode, making them use the more energy-saving 'Shutdown' mode instead automatically. The company says this can increase power savings by up to 20 times without impacting "performance, gameplay, or your ability to receive system, games or apps updates overnight." The only down side seems to be a longer startup time that can take up to 45 seconds. The setting was originally introduced in 2023, and this is only the latest update to it. The power option can be changed from the console settings at any time. This Xbox Insider update is rolling out today to select members of the program. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.

      2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.
