Is there a way to add a setting to disable colored emoji? Thanks!

If I insert colored characters in the columns of the playlist, the color does not remain constant but changes depending on whether the row is selected or not.

...

Is it possible to make sure that colors don't change if the row is selected?

I assume you are using $rgb()? If so, provide six arguments (just repeat the first three arguments a second time).

$if(%album artist%, <no artist>)[ / %album%])

$if(%discnumber%, [ Disc %discnumber%],)

Right after minimise foobar2000 (in time play one track), having pointed on icon in system tray, not show/work metadatas by pattern (scripts) in tooltip, but show title "foobar2000", how on picture.

Is there a way to make grouping conditional based on the active playlist?  %playlist_name% doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for any help!

I've just tested 3.0 and it seems that the switch from GDI to DirectWrite has broken the (rather unorthodox) usage of the $tab() character. Previously, it allowed for alignment changes within the same line in a playlist column or grouping - or, more accurately, it divided the line into columns. There's also some weird horizontal line introduced.

E.g. my playlist groups before:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

...and after:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I understand that the tab now renders correctly, but this comes at the cost of a unique functionality that I can no logner reproduce. I know I'm not alone in this, because I borrowed this idea from someone else's theme over a decade ago and I've seen it used in many custom themes since.

Since you are continuing the development of version 3.0.0, can you add the possibility to also set the size of the main window for each layout?

This component when installed in a Linux Ubuntu (Zorin OS) system using either wine (64bit) or wine32 (32bit), the foobar interface just becomes a blank window. Nothing at all; just usual window title of Foobar2000 and blank entire window. Version of wine is wine-9.0

Unfortunately, Wine implements a newer version of a particular DirectWrite interface, but without implementing all the methods. The fact that it indicates support for the newer interface causes Columns UI to try and use it, but it then use gets an error when using the unimplemented method.

You could stick with Columns UI 2.1.0.

You could file a bug report to Wine to request that IDWriteFontCollection2::GetFontSet is implemented. (Note that, even if that one is implemented, it's possible there are other unimplemented methods that could still stop it from working.)

You could configure your fonts with 2.1.0, and then upgrade again.

Or, if it's at all possible, you could try and get a native copy of DWrite.dll working.

Note that pressing page-up/down advances to the next item in the list and starts to playback it, which is foobar2000's default behaviour.
