Work in progress. Combining visual elements from my favorite skins with the functionality I personally need.



This is awesome minimalistic foobar2k! Would you be willing to post your config files?

here's what i'm using. i don't really like having a huge fb2k window with dozens of bloated features, i prefer a clean and simple playlist.

it's modified version of zix skin from deviantart. i dont have any knowledge of cUI skins/components or code, but i poked around the settings and made adjustments. mostly just made the playlist view more minimalistic with smaller lines, text, and album headers.

I love this look. Can you provide the config and howto (components)?

EDIT: I see the ZiX provides it. I would still like your modifications. I do like minimal playlists myself.

i'm pretty illiterate about these things, it's just from blindly poking around in the settings--which exactly files are you in need of? don't know which files contain the modifications i made.

In the options, go to Columns UI and export your config.

If foobar is in portable mode you can just zip up your Foobar folder and upload it.

Otherwise, you have to find your foobar config folder and zip up those files.

That against the license of foobar2000 and probably against the license of several of your components. The only way you're allowed to redistribute foobar2000 is in an unmodified installer.

Do you have the album list panel component from CUI's author musicmusic?  http://yuo.be/download/34CB0B2D-26ED-444a-...umlist-0.3.5.7z

Tell me, has anyone managed to create something with CUI that looks similar to the media player UI found on the new Playbook tablet by RIM?



The text box at the bottom of each album cover is pretty unattractive and should probably be relegated to mouseover status, but otherwise I like the setup. If it hasn't been done before, does anyone think they could point me in the direction of something similar enough that I could mess around with? My foobar knowledge is phenomenally limited, so a helping hand is always greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I love this but I'm having a lot of trouble installing it.

The instructions in the README don't seem to add up for me - which installation of foobar are you using the theme with?

Disable WSH Panel "Safe mode". It works for me.

This is my config. It took me a year to complete it, never did any coding before. Now I love it, it fits my needs perfectly!
The last things I'd like to change is sort the "Year"-column descending and add album art to my radio-streams.

So this is from the Columns UI Appearance thread, but I'm having trouble and didn't want to clog that up:

This is the newest version of this particular interface:
http://gasdaumin.deviantart.com/art/ZiX-V2-0-188850661

When I try and install everything I get lots of errors on start-up and then some elements won't function.
Assuming I'm running a completely fresh, unopened fb2k install, I'll do the following to get this theme to work:

1) Download and open the RAR file containing the files for this theme
2) Copy everything except the components folder into the fb2k directory (Program Files (86x)/foobar2000) overwriting when prompted
3) Open the components folder within the RAR file
4) Go into each of the three subfolders (LastFM, Official and UI) copying all the files into the components directory of fb2k overwriting when prompted (i.e. copying the files into Program Files (86x)/foobar2000/components without the subfolder structure)
5) Opening fb2k will presumably now give me the option for which interface I should use ...

Do I then choose Columns UI and then load the FCL from /zix/Windows 7?

Doing this causes all sorts of errors - is anyone able to help please?

Sigh, my post was deleted for trying to help you guys.

Seriously, foobar needs a way to allow complete configurations to be applied; since its license doesn't allow it to be easily redistributed.

Anyways, here's post 2.

Step 1: Download latest foobar and install to a folder in portable mode.
Step 2: Download this file, and overwrite the existing foobar files with these files:

http://ordorica.org/appz/foobar_zix.7z

That should give you the ZiX configuration with minimal effort. Hopefully it works. I've added a few minor tweaks, and updated the user components to the latest versions. You can undo the tweaks by re-importing the ZiX fcl file using ColumnsUI options.

One of the reasons to disallow third party installers is that it's impossible to verify the authenticity and trust anything in an unofficial installer and software installed by such a party. It's especially important as installers often run with elevated rights, making them an excellent vehicle for malware.

The same holds (minus the rights) for downloading compnent bundles like the one above from unknown sources. There's a reason there's a central component repository, and let's not forget that individual components may not allow distribution through any other channels than the component repository.

Another reason why bundles are suboptimal is that configuration files are often included unmodified. I assume that "anon" isn't your real Audioscrobbler moniker...

There has been some decent improvements in redistributability. In particular, configuration files are split per-component, and user-installed components reside in the user-components directory.

In the past it was rather dangerous as the configuration file was monolithic, but it's still a risk as people who zip their directories up rarely think of obliterating any incriminating traces of their personal data.

I'm sure that the user above me is all well-meaning and all, but making users comfortable with downloading software from unknown sources is a slippery slope.

On the brighter side of things, thus far I've gotten one request from a skin asking author whether he was allowed to redistribute my components, which was a very nice touch and warmed my heart to see that someone cares.
Stay sane, exile.
