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?

add pics

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.

    • 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.

    • 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...
