Yes that's right, it's marc's version that everyone at the moment uses.
It is inofficially the latest that's available...

Ok, thanks. I'm using JSplitter, which is a hybrid of 1.6.1 with extra splitter functions. I was hoping the author could upgrade it to the mod, but I gather there is no source code published.

Hopefully (for people like me who require splitters) someone will write a program like PSS but in Javascript format..I can only dream.

im having some wonkey things going on with display size of ui elements
for example when i click [options > display > auto detect] it chooses qhd and my display looks like the first pic
(choosing qhd manually yields the same results)
as you can see the album art and playlist view are slightly out of alignment
also when i close and reopen the player it looks like the second pic
i much prefer something closer to the look of the first pic, but because it turns into second pic when i reopen the app, im not able to get it to stay that way
as a workaround i tried to adjust the size of the UI elements individually, but for some UI elements (like transport buttons) the manual options arent even close to as small as the first pic
my screen is 16:10 2560 x 1600 if it matters
also i sometimes get other weird unexpected behaviors or looks when adjusting ui size / reopening the app / adjusting window size, like very inconsistent. while trying to recreate the problem i would close and reopen the app and follow the exact same steps, and its not always the exact reaction i detailed in this post, but i just detailed this one specific reaction for simplicity sake and cuz i was getting this specific reaction consistently in a row for a while

Looks like it automatically chooses and adjust to 4K display res.
The first image looks like QHD res and then it auto-adjusts the UI to 4K res.
From the looks of it you're using fullscreen, but does this behavior happens when not using fullscreen at all?

What Georgia-ReBORN version are you using? Did you try with the latest RC-2?

I don't remember if those pics were fullscreen or not because i was toggling fullscreen on and off at the time to see if it helped, also i dont even know what fullscreen is
but took some pics now and this is what i got
notice i have 2 different fullscreen 4k pics
thats cuz after taking the first one i switched to qhd, and for some reason when i switched back to 4k it looked different from how it had before
this is an example of what i was talking before, with weird changes happening unpredictably
and just for clarity i did not take a pic of when i switched to qhd inbetween the two 4k pics, the qhd pic im posting was taken after the second fullscreen 4k so idk if thats how the qhd looked between the 4ks
also after all those pics, i then tried to take a picture of non fullscreen qhd, but every time i unticked the fullscreen option the player would turn smaller, and then when i clicked the maximize button the fullscreen option would show up as ticked again so i could not get non fullscreen maximized qhd (at this moment at least)

also i couldnt find how to check which version it is
i clicked check for theme update and nothing happened so i guess i am on the latest

The Georgia-ReBORN version can be seen on the lower bar right corner where the playback time
is being displayed when foobar starts or when you stop playback.

Maybe you have some invalid/old/bugged config settings from previous old versions?
Just to be sure, can you do a temporary test portable foobar install on your desktop?
Install the latest master version from here:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Check again if it is working for you or not and report to me back.
I will take a look at this once I'm done with other things I'm currently working on...

Thanks

@hello9757,

there was indeed an issue when using the QHD display mode with a 2560 x 1600 resolution.
This has been fixed in the latest commit, you can download the master version and replace your files:

sorry, what i meant is i tried that link and the same problems persisted
i was saying that 2.0.3b may have been the last version that did not have these problems, tho i am not sure of this, and that these problems may have first appeared after directly updating to RC2 from 2.0.3b, altho again, i am not certain

Re: Georgia-ReBORN - A Clean foobar2000 Theme

I have fixed that yesterday and uploaded the fix in the master AFTER you have tried.
You should download from the same link again try now. This link to the master always has
the latest state of the theme while I'm working on it.

the bottom of the album view and library/playlist view is still misaligned

I can confirm this, going back to RC1. If happens at different screen sizes. Some it appears normal, and other sizes it appear like in this image. Just minimize and drag the window in and out and you'll see it.

Interestingly, I am not able to resize the window
i can uncheck the fullscreen option but cannot uncheck the "disable sizing" option
not an issue for me because i never resize anyway, but thought i'd report my findings

This is actually not a bug, it is just that the album cover image that is currently being played and displayed, is not exactly proportional.
That means it has not the same width and height in pixels ( for example 1420 x 1400 ).

It is not in my interest to stretch album art images, the artist/designer of the album art cover should have designed and saved it
into a square format. You can stretch it yourself to square format with a graphics program ( Photoshop, Gimp, IrfanView )
if you want to.

Another thing is that on some monitor resolutions, the player size is not fully proportional when it is maximized or in fullscreen.
It is impossible to do so, but you can play with these:
Options > Player controls > Album art > When player size is not proportional
Options > Player controls > Album art > When player size is maximized/fullscreen

It scales perfectly on my 1440p 32" monitor. Even if it looked like that screenshot, I'd have no problem with it.

Hey guys, are there any official instructions on how to run this on Linux yet? I couldn't find any documentation on the github page. I've just been using Mordred's older build for a long time now, thought I'd give ReBORN another shot. I'd like to build a new prefix for this one, but it's been so long since I asked I'm wondering if anything changed, like is there a generally accepted way to do the font fallbacks?

Re: Georgia-ReBORN - A Clean foobar2000 Theme

Reply #742 –
Well it's working pretty well on the prefix I've been using, glad to finally see that drag n drop working - but I am on Xorg right now, wonder if it works in a Wayland session.

Is there something I'm supposed to do for the lyrics plugin? It doesn't seem to be working

Edit: Now the lyrics are suddenly working. I'm testing with a Tyler the Creator album so it's not like it's obscure. The song before this wasn't picking it up, strange.

The user-component UI_Hacks is managing and controlling the player size of this theme.
You do not use the top menu View > Disable sizing. That option is managed by foobar itself,
but is irrelevant for this theme. If you want to disable the player resizing, you can do so via top menu
Options > Player controls > Panel > Lock player size.

To enter and exit fullscreen mode, just click on the fullscreen icon 🗖 that is located at the top right corner ( 🗕 🗖 ✖ ) of this theme.
To maximize, just double click on the top menu, when maximized, double click again to restore previous player size.
To manually resize the player, go the the right edge with your mouse and drag to increase width, do the same on the bottom edge
for height. And the bottom corners do both ( width and height ).

If you want to have the player size always proportional, i.e the album art cover aligns perfectly with the panels,
use the predefined player sizes in top menu Options > Player size > Small, Normal, Large.

Then you also have the options:
Options > Player controls > Album art > When player size is not proportional
Options > Player controls > Album art > When player size is maximized/fullscreen

And:
Options > Player controls > Panel > Width > Use auto panel width
This feature auto adjust the panel width with the album art cover, if you resize the width or height of the player size.

It is useful if you have widescreen display resolutions or this kind of crazy thing:

@NewLeaf42,

try the latest master version:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

There was an issue with the lyrics but it is now fixed. I have no issues with this theme on any Linux distro...
And yes, the playlist drag and drop issue was finally fixed by the Wine devs since Wine 8 I think.

@TT,

I'm using the latest dev version from git (I cloned the repository)

I like the theme, but is there a way to get more room for the details on the metadataGrid? It's extremely cluttered unless I go full screen, which is nice but when I'm doing my computing I like to have it sit in the top left corner of my screen, like this:

X

This was after changing it down from 4K to HD and manually adjusting each font to be larger. I know there's a compact mode, and I might just use that, but I like to glance over and see details sometimes like the composer credits

Here's what I'm used to:

X

On second thought, it doesn't look that bad in my screenshot, but that's a song with very few record label/composer credits, and it doesn't look good when I go fullscreen with that config

It is impossible to further improve the metadata grid as I am not a wizard and can do no magic :(

Actually the latest Github commit was the last possible improvement. It hides almost all metadata grid entries
and shows only basic metadata: 'Year', 'Label', 'Genre', 'Codec', 'Channels', 'Source', 'Data', 'Play Count', 'Rating' 
when the player size has a certain small size.
And restores all metadata grid entries when it has available space, see here:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/commit/f38474d1ff716102721cf6496f6c2f85cf90d704
It is already activated as default and can be accessed via top menu
Options > Details > Metadata grid > Auto-hide full metadata on small player.

Georgia-ReBORN has other metrics/proportions than Mordred's original Georgia you've displayed in the second screenshot.
Because I have designed the UI layout to be proportional and in harmony, the album art cover is aligned with all panels.
That means, I can not make more room and space for the metadata grid without stretching the album art image,
this would be a no go. I also won't change the margin and padding as it is left aligned with the progress bar and panel top content.

The only way to make a little bit more space and adjust it to your needs would be to set up the metadata grid font sizes
to smaller sizes via top menu Options > Font size > Details > Tag name/Tag value and also Artist, Title and Album if those
are being displayed.

You can also remove metadata grid entries you do not want to be displayed, if you open your georgia-reborn-config.jsonc:
foobar2000\profile\georgia-reborn\configs\georgia-reborn-config.jsonc, go to the "metadataGrid" section and remove
entries you do not want to be shown. Be sure to make a backup of your config file first!

There is nothing more that can be done...

@TT,

The player looks good. I am going to sit on it for a while, I think I just have to get used to it.

That's true, the album art goes up higher than it did in Mordred's skin. I'm just gonna play around with configs for a while and let you know if I find anything else. I like the way the entire player changes colors now instead of just the left and right sections. Thanks

thanks, some good tips here, but i found some other ways to make it look nice in fullscreen
first I checked an older version of foobar/georgia reborn i still have, because i could have sworn i only saw the misalignment after updating
turns out the misalignment was still there in my older version, but it was so small i never noticed it
after some experimenting, it turns out this is because in the newer version, i had the unnecessary [view > fullscreen] option checked, which for some reason made the misalignment bigger
after unchecking that option, i applied some theme changes to match my old theme, which masked the misalignment even more (pic 1) (theme: reborn) (style: bevel, blend, reborn black)
the dark gradient below the album art combined with the translucent pattern on the right panel makes the misalignment a natural fit into the design rather than a departure from it
after that i discovered some combos get rid of the misalignment entirely by adding bars (pic 2) (theme: reborn) (style: bevel, blend 2, reborn black)
heck the default looks great by matching the bottom panel and right panels colors (pic 3) (theme: reborn) (style: default)
the only downside is these all use theme: reborn, the best theme imo but as a dark user you get greeted with this when you start up the app (pic 4, pic 5)
there is a theme: black which is what i was using previously because its all darks on startup, but the customization options and their effects are much more limited
ideally there would be an option for the nice looks and customization of reborn theme with the startup screens of black theme, but as it is you have to choose one or the other
@TT i understand you are very busy and pleasing everyone is impossible, but if you ever get a chance to implement this, some of us dark users would be very happy with the heightened customization
still this is my favorite theme regardless, so thank you for your work
cheers
