1. I notice an increase in the resources with the new lyrics plugin, but this is probably the plugin's doing and not the skin itself.

2. With Red theme (the one I love most) and extra black the bottom progress and volume bar are colored red, fine. but without extra black they are colored blue, not fitting. :) (I hope you understand).

Awesome job overall! Thank you so much for sharing this with us foobar2000 junkies.

1. You're right. Wait for a new version of Lyric_show

2. My bad. Fixed, I reload my pack later

That's be cool too, but I don't think any of the analysers or peakmeter support transparency.

You can only set a solid color behind it, I think.

Yeap, no analysers at this time (waiting for peakmeter with transparency support)

@bzhSlap: just a genre/artist/album sorting. it works fine for me, son no idea of what wrongs for you, sorry.

But as I told you I have been trying several sorting options but still...

What can I do to have a better track grouping ?

Modify my MP3 folder organization ?

Everything works fine! New foo rulez :D

One question: how do i get the fonts to be bigger under the album art?

I try to change this strings in Panels UI => Layout => Globals and nothing happened:

$ifgreater($getpvar(MyFont),0,

$puts(fontAVA,hooge 05_53)

$puts(fontAVAsize,6)

$puts(fontAVAsize_2,6)

$puts(fontAVAsize_3,6)

Thanks in advance.

Updated version (some performance tweaks) and changelog in first post!

One question: how do i get the fonts to be bigger under the album art?

RMB on Track display with album art->Settings and change:

$font($get(fontAVA),[b]6[/b],glow-155-155-155 glowexpand-0 glowalpha-120,220-220-220)
[Next song: $font($get(fontAVA),6,$ifequal($getpvar(blue),1,glow-0-200-255 glowexpand-0 glowalpha-120,glow-255-50-50 glowexpand-0 glowalpha-120),250-250-250)%cwb_next_title%]
$alignabs(,$add(%_width%,-5),%_width%,%_height%,center,top)
$font($get(fontAVA),[b]16[/b],glow-200-200-200 glowexpand-1 glowalpha-120,244-244-244)%title%
$char(10)
$font($get(fontAVA),[b]12[/b],$ifequal($getpvar(blue),1,glow-0-200-255 glowexpand-1 glowalpha-120,glow-255-50-50 glowexpand-1 glowalpha-120),220-220-220)[%artist%]
$char(10)
$if(%album%,$font($get(fontAVA),[b]8[/b],glow-120-120-120glowexpand-0,220-220-220)[%album%],)
$char(10)
$font($get(fontAVA),[b]6[/b],glow-120-120-120glowexpand-0,220-220-220)[%date%]

Hey works brilliantly,love it!Just a question,would it be possible to support a transparent background,so the background of the program is transparent,so say if I have it open against my windows wallpaper,it will just show that behind the songs etc?

i'm on vista,how could I implement that? Also found a bug,not sure if its just for me or whatever,screenshot attached shows the problem,just the white bits round the lyrics. Love this config,thanks alot!

Right click and choose settings -> Display -> Set Edge style to none.

Looking good, Just reinstalled it on my new vista box. Waiting for Foobar to finish scaning my NAS box for files, then I can have a mess about with it.

Still not sure if it will drag me away from WinAmp though.

i have a strange problem... everytiem i close and open foobar, the height of the window seems to get bigger and bigger everytime... anyone else experiencing this? i.e. if i close and open foobar 10 times, the height of the window would have increased quite a lot...

@The Cub

I must admit that transparency mode takes about 45mb from your RAM :whistle: . Just switch it off, then right click on playlist->Settings and uncheck "Transparent background".

I'm still working on performance tweaks

Great Config :)

i have a noob question how can i make Foobar Auto shuffle and repeat my songs :) ?

Click on "Default" button (it's in bottom panel)

Other PC, other performance :)

@marceliszpak. I don't know what it depends on, some components need c++ runtime libraries (download) and processor compatible with SSE instructions, maybe this is a problem.

LOL. I forgot to turn off some DSP effects. Without them foo takes 10mb in transparency mode :D

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
