Hello there!

I have a question regarding the cover display of coverflow:

All my albums habe a jpeg-file of the following format: %artist% - %album%.front.jpg

Now most other components display this cover correctly, except for the big covers in coverflow, even the notificator displays the cover.

In one of the previous posts the very same question was answered with: "change the value in the settings."

But I have no idea how to tell him to use variables like *.front.jpg

I tried figuring out how the other components read the covers, but thats a little much for me.

Also I was wondering how I could achive the playlist where I see only the album header and after I click once on the header the tracks belonging to that album open up like in a tree-view. I saw others with similar playlists using fooava.

Oh and one more thing: is there a fix for the x64 problem that a lot of buttons dont show up?

Thanks for any help.

This is by far my favorite config but ive lately been running into a few probs. One was that the arrows around the playlist name at the top disappeared along with the "show now playing", "add folder" and "scroll hide". this was due to vista and installing in the program files (x86) instead of the roaming folder under users.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hey first of all I would like to thank you for this amazing skin but I'm having some trouble setting it up.

I've had this skin and the program for almost 2 weeks now and I have reinstalled it at least 4 times. I had to finally register here to ask for help. Anyways, first thing first, can someone please upload ALL of the components into a single .rar or .zip file, I would really appreciate it. Alright, I'm having issues with my visualizer (or whatever you call it). I have it outlined in yellow in the screenshot below. It flashes if you know what I mean and hurts the eyes. When I first installed the theme, it was working fine, it moved up and down but didn't "flash". Now it moves up and down but at the same time it flashes excessively. I guess I'll reinstall for the fifth time when someone uploads all of the components in a single file. Lastly, I wanted to know how do you guys make your player's bottom bar look like that (see second image).

How do you guys get your player to be transparent like:

I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff so please try to explain and make it as simple as you can :D

Thanks, awaiting your reply :)

nvm got v 1.5 to work....

I have another question though...what's the best way to fix up the artwork....it's all messed up on WMP and Foobar...cuz normally I use iTunes and that has my cover art down well.....can i change art from within foobar....or do i have to go to the actual file in the folder and change it from the properties?

I have vista....if that's any importance

theres somethin wrong with my volume bar? i can SEE it but i cant DRAG it..

anyone know a fix? thanks

this is what it is at

// Volume Bar

$panel(Volume,Volume Panel,$sub(%_width%,64),$sub(%_height%,40),56,15,)

//%cwb_volume%

$ifequal(%cwb_volume%,-100,

)

$puts(volume.level,$muldiv(%panel_volume%,57,1000))

I have a small question/request to make. :)

I'm using fooAvA 1.04 and i'd like the "artist" section in the Albumlist to show artists sorted by the tag "album artist" instead of "artist" as it is now.

Could anyone help me in doing this or atleast give me some hint to what should be changed?

Most appreciated! :)

hi, i am using fooava 1.05, its amazing, but the coverflow doesnt work... how can i solve it? and another one... when i change the background and colour appearance (e.g. red background and red appearance) after closing foobar everything turns back to that black version... where is the problem? thanks for reply.

I wrote about chronflow/coverflow in first post. This component will not work on some computer configurations.

Solution for a problem with forgotten settings:

- if you have Win Vista - disable UAC first, then run foobar2000 as administrator,

- if you are using older Windows version - just run foobar2000 as administrator.

hi Dawx, thanks a lot for you help. well, probably i have to forget that coverflow, i dont know if the main problem is vista or just my notebook, but thats not that important. settings problem was solved, i always forget to try this "run as administrator" - and it helps in many cases...

but i have another problems, or questions: should i run iPod plugin or LastFM plugin on FooAva 1.05? i was trying, but it doesnt work... i am sorry for that asking, i am new to foobar, and i?ve found this question here on forum, but not the reply how to solve it... again, thanks a lot for your help

well, i have these components, and in the preferences i can find them, but i cannot see any buttons on foobar... so i cannot control nor lastfm nor ipod... and i play with coverflow, it works, but without cd covers (actually some of them appeared, most of them not). in the usual, non-coverflow mode it works... do you know where is the problem or where i am doing mistakes?

add pics

post-276616-1231546452_thumb.jpg

First of all, read a documentation for iPod Manager: documentation. Foo_audioscrobbler automatically sends information about currently playing track to Last.fm servers - you don't need any buttons. About chronflow/coverflow - covers should be called "folder.jpg" (you can change it in preferences->display->chronflow->album source)

@dawxxx666 and all of you people who know: after my old hdd drive vanished in oblivion, i had to reorganize everything, including foobar (a.k.a. one player to rule 'em all :)) on the new one few days ago. i picked PUI/fooAvA 1.05, so far i'm very satisfied but i'm still learning of its possibilities. the question is - is it somehow possible to switch it into full-screen mode, without streching the edges of a window, but with one mouseclick or by some similar easy method, it would be really nice. i gave a shot by reading this topic, but after a seventy pages i listed in a single piece, maybe i've forseen the answer, so i'm sorry if i did so. tnx in advance for your answer and greetings from croatia!

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
