OK I know what my problem is but I still need your help. The album art that comes up is being resized by windows media player to a smaller size and as a result comes out heavily pixelated in foobar. I need to either delete all the album art that came from windows media player or stop it from resizing it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think you would be better off deleting the album art that WMP has created and getting higher quality versions for foobar. I think the WMP images are naturally very small. I use a program called Album Art Downloader, or if you have iTunes you can use this to download the covers too.

While I remember I have an album art that shows in foobar but the image is not in the same folder directory. Infact there is no image there at all. When I go one level up the image shows as the folder icon, but I can't seem to get rid of it at all. Any suggestions?

I don't suppose anyone can send me a .zip of foobar with this theme & all .dlls etc, or is that against the rules?

Try as I might, I can't just get this lovely theme to work :(

Thx.

The components cannot be distributed as a complete pack as far as I am aware. You must be extracting the files to the wrong directories. Talk through what you've done and where you have put certain files, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix :)

Edit: Fixed it! However looking at nexxit's post on page 1, theres no 'basic' folder in the 'panelsUI' folder, what's missing?

Also, I can't seem to turn of CD/Vinyl images in playlist even though the radio button in settings isn't selected.

Thanks!

Ok ive overwritten all of the album art that windows media downloads for bigger versions, but I need to make sure that windows media player can't access the internet to change it back. How do I stop it?

Secondly, I see you can add band images to the album list, how do I do this?

There is an option in WMP that allows you to stop retrieving information from the internet. I'm assuming this also includes album arts as well as song information

You have to turn on transparency mode under the settings 1 page. I didn't even realize there were two pages for the gear thing, until i looked at the screenshot.

My question is how do I change the color of the song titles in the playlist. I've figured out how to change the rest in the playlist, but couldn't find the color setting for the track. I really liked the gray color scheme for the playlist in the previous version. Thanks!

Where can I find the other setting window?

I can only get to the "Setting". There isn't a second one

@ the guy with the Zidane avatar...

I'm a rookie as well but this is dead easy. Download the components said on page 1, and copy them into your components folder is the foobar2000 directory. Then download the 2 folders on page 1 and just let them the autosetup run. Then start Foobar, select "Panels UI", and then go to File/Preferences/PanelsUI and change the layout to Dawxxx666. Then you should be done.

at the top where it says settings, there should be two little arrows on the right or left, depending on which page you're on. press those to get to the next page.

anyone know how to change the track name color? thanks.

amazing work again with your skins I just love them.

But I got a big problem in this one,

Normally I sort like this

Folder (Group) - Album (Group) - Track - Artist - Title

But then it looks like this, maybe someone know how to fix this? If please give code and where to put it in.

And how do you get the peak meter to work? I cant got it to work :(

I can't find the mini mode. Is it still a WIP?

Just click on "maximize" button (one next to "Exit" button/icon), although I think that mini player pasted by khz is some kind of mod, or next version of mini player. It`s a lot different from what you have in 1.3 version.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
