nice work,

just 2 notes about mini player mode about spectrum channel

1) background columns don't match with position of the foreground columns (see screenshot)

2) the upper line background is missing, the spectrum go upper than the background pic, see the arrow pointer on the capture below :

;)

you're right, it works very well now :)

For some reason the quick search doesn't display what you've searched for. It only shows #Search Results.

Also, just a question. Did the artist images go away with this version or did I miss a setting somewhere?

Thanks,

I think they've been out for a bit. I can't remember anything like that from 1.03, and it's definitely not in 1.04.

If I have all my covers in one directory, labeled artist - album.jpg, how can I set my Globals to load the pictures from there and not look for folder.jpg, etc in the album dir?

Try this if you're absolutely sure you just want one source for your covers.

$setpvar(MyCoverPath,C:\wherever_your_path_is\%artist% - %album%.jpg)

amazing config! now i can say good bye to winamp!..

like in others config, i can put "cover.jpg", "%album%.jpg",etc, but in order to get the picture of the artist in the picture..what i need to do?

avaas0.th.jpg

Try putting a "artist.jpg" in your album's folder.

Hello.

Congratulation dawxxx666 for your work... Foo Ava is really good , I discovered and used it since 1.03 version.

I use the 1.04 now but I have just a little problem I never had with the previous version.

In fact, i want to remove the CD case around the cover... In the previous version there was a parameter in options menu to remove it but It seems it is not in the 1.4 version...

If you have a solution, i am very interested....

thanks

// Covar art panels

Of course it won't change album art size, so... U must get used to it, or change some more code...

Edited by dyniaq

Thx again to dawxxx666 for his work and the good looking FooAva 1.04 !

I have 2 questions / problems with this new config:

- "show now playing", the scrolling in the playlist pannel is not automatic anymore

- FooAva 1.04 not compatible with iAva, right?

Is there any solution to these problems?

Thx in advance

"show now playing", the scrolling in the playlist pannel is not automatic anymore

What do U mean? It works fine with me, when i.e. song at first position in playlist is playing and I sroll down to the last one

and then click Show Now Playing fb2k highlight the first one and sroll all playlist to show highlighted song. If this feature doesn't work with Ur fb2k

the reason could be wrong version on some component, probably panelsUI as some ver. could've some bugs with Show Now Playing feature.

iAVA was only a project, maybe abandoned already, need to ask Dawid, which meant to be a light and low resources consuming version.

fooAVA 1.04 is completely different in assumption - it's a little "show off" version which doesn't give a crap about resources. It meant to be nice

and highly functional and user friendly. So... fooAVA 1.04 is NOT compatible with iAVA

Man the theme is ingenius and u are as well. It made me throw away both wmp and winamp. this is how a music player should look like.

I have one question though. I tried a little tweak up as someone wrote here and I got what I want. The only thing is i dont know is how to fix the position of the rating stars not absolutely but accordingly to how i resize it. (relative position) (like it happens with the under the cover art info when you resize your window)

keep on the good work you are doing

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
    • Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
