fmxer:

puts something like this in your color code:

two colors backgrounds (row):

//Color text

//Selected Text
|
//BackGround
|$if($stricmp($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),1),DDDDDD,FFFFFF)
//Selected Backgroud
//(...)

color change with directory:

$if($stricmp($lower($left($directory(%_path%),7)),various),0000FF)

(with this code all directory beginning with "various" got red color)

N0thin:

you must use the playlist filter to make the differet columns for singles...

Anybody help me out. My main playlist contains 100s of artists with select songs for each. Doesn't qualify for album mode but I'd like to modify my singles mode. Here's what I'd like to see.

A line across the playlist when the artists changes and to show the artist name only once.

Seems I would need to set a variable (%prevartist%) and compare it to current %artist%, resetting the %prevartist% variable each time.

The code I have bases the line (design) by tracknumber.

// Start & End Line
|||$if($stricmp(%_playlist_number%,1),%_design%)
||$if($stricmp(%_playlist_number%,%_playlist_total%),%_design%)

Any ideas?

dood:

it's impossible actually...

The best way i see: set a tag like %mytracknumber% (1,2,3,..) or %firsttrack% (1 or nothing)... and keep the order in the playlist...

//Top Frame
|$if($stricmp($num(%mytracknumber%,2),01),000000)

//Top Frame
|$if(%firsttrack%,000000)

dood:

Your saying that info can only come from the current line. No memory of what the last line was. I was afraid you'd say that. At least now I can quite wracking my brain I guess. Guess if I was desperate I could change all the tracknumbers :laugh:

I haven't tried myself, but this _may_ work.

Try playing around with global variables.

Your saying that info can only come from the current line.  No memory of what the last line was.

Exactly, that's come from the IRC foobar channel... If a remember good from one of the developper...

So i don't think that play with globals variables help for this...

But I will be glad to see the opposite...

I have read this topic before. I dont remember seeing it. And I dont relish reading all the pages. Maybe if someone updated the 1st post with useful links it might help.

And I still can't find howto show the album list panel, now I have the plugin.

Hi, Im a newbie to foobar and would be happy if you or anyone else could help me.

I wasn't able to get the album list or the database explorer list on the left side beneath the playlist window on the right like in a lot of screenshots. Also searching through the forum didn't really help me - all ideas mentioned didn't help. I've tried for hours and hours, but couldn't manage it.

Have installed Columns UI 0.1.2 beta 4 and the tabbed panel stack and could manage to show the playlist tree there on the left but not with Album list or Database Explorer the same way.

Have installed Album list and Database Explorer but I only can manage them to run in an extra window on the top of foobar. I can move them freely the everywhere ON TOP of the foobar window as an extra window.

Like here in the next screenshot - I?ve loaded the standard Columns UI.fcs theme. Nothing else more - than the Album list on top - is loaded.

>>> post-89191-1104962526_thumb.jpg

My problem is how to get the Album List or the Database Explorer - not on top, but directly integrated - in the (tabbed) panel stack on the left side the same way like Playlists, Playlist tree, Track info or Volume as an integrated toolbar.

That is possible - integrated, but not on top - like in the next screenshot but I dont know how. How to manage this? Rexy for example could manage it but I still fail ...

I would appreciate very much your help with a simple but very precise instruction how to manage it. Thank you very much in advance.

Congratulations and thank you very very much that helped me a lot as newbie. I was searching since days to find the right answers in the jungle of posts. And your download was really great to keep things working. Your page should really be posted as one of the first helps for start ups by the admins.

To understand: What's the difference between album list and album list panel? How to create the panel? I've loaded the dll somewhere but i did get only the album list and not the panel as well. So I wasn't able to integrate it in foobar directly - only as an on-top window.

Is there any possibility to integrate the Database Explorer like you did it with the Album List? I made a Post >>> #1262 for this today ...

Again THX a lot for your fantastic help

I updated my conf to black for a change because of mood,weather etc...Ok enough :x

My questions are:

1.How to add horizontal lines after each album . F.E. As my config shows ---> a line after 16th track of 1st album, then a line after 12th track of 2nd album and so on.

2. How can I change the colour of status bar's progress bar?

3. I saw some of configs here, that had foobar splitted in a horizontal way. What is the fastest (easiest ) way to do that? Tabbed panels?

It's after 3 am and I'm stuck with those

Thank you for future answers:)

How did you do the album playlist thing? I am trying to set that up myself. I can't find a post or someone who explains how to set up the album playlist.

Download the newest version of columnsui 0.1.2 final

Then you will need the newest version of albumlist and panel stack.

You should then be able to enable the side bar and right click to add the panel stack and ad the album list to it.

For more extensions which work with the newest columnsui look here.

Hey Lav

can you send mail me [email protected] on this columns ui lay-out or link

THX

The best place for configs is here, I don't think it's possible to have different configs for different playlists.

    • 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. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • 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.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
