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))

$imageabs2(0,12,0,0,$add($get(volume.level)),0,$sub(%_width%,65),$sub(%_height%,42),

/images\fooAvA\bar\v$getpvar(colour.b).png,

nokeepaspect

)

$imageabs2(0,0,0,0,0,0,$eval($sub(%_width%,71)+$get(volume.level)),$sub(%_height%,44),

/images\fooAvA\bar\vol$getpvar(colour.b).png,

nokeepaspect

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?

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.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
