foobar2000 for Mac / Design improvements from a professional UX Designer and foobar2000 fan
Last post by backslash -
Please find attached my proposal with some subtle design improvements for the Mac version of foobar2000.

The goals are:

- Optimizing hierarchy and accessibility
- Improving the overall look and feel while staying true to the minimalistic/utilitarian foobar2000 approach we all love
- Make the app feel more Mac native by applying Apple's UI guidelines/components

If it is appreciated from a User/Developer perspective, I can tackle/provide more states including respective hover states.

For development purposes, I could also provide a more elaborate access to the Figma workspace which makes the development process way easier.

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.

The message error is gone now with wine 10.6

In the bug report is said something about direct2d SVG features in columns ui doesn't supported in wine but as I don't use it as daily basic I don't know isf is there others problems.

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't work.
I tried to install that drivers and some older, but the problem was not solved
Sorry, I don't have any additional insights to offer. Essentially your driver is failing to run a fundamental DirectX 12 function call. As fond as I personally am for the Haswell microarchitecture, I'm sorry to tell you that your system does not seem to support the needed baseline functionality.
It's not just the DX12 issue which you should be able to solve by installing the older drivers. Imo the combination with a 4GB system ram is the issue, especially since the Haswell GPU draws on system ram too.

Only one way to check, add system memory. Question is if you want to spend extra money/effort on a 2013 Q3 system with no guarantees that the issue will be solved by adding memory.
EDIT: On the other hand it is not just about fooBar. Increasing system memory from 4GB to 16GB (or even to 8GB) will improve overall current windows 10 or 11 system performance a lot.

I found 4GB extra memory and I add it to my PC, so it has a total of 8GB memory.
But the skin, with the old drivers, crashes anyway!
P.S. I even try to add the new foo_vis_vumeter 0.10.15

Listening Tests / Re: [SUGGESTION] Neural Network-based "delossifyers" listening test
Last post by forart.eu -
It would be great if we could have this software on our computers. I think that is the reason people are not really keen on testing these, because there is no exe file to run.
...of course you can (if you have enough computing power)...

Anyway I've already asked Intel to integrate these models into their OpenVINO™ AI Plugins for Audacity;)

I haven't maintained pre-1.5 compatibility even in my better and more useful components, I definitely do not feel like making an exception here.
I can't think of a single reason against updating from 6+ years old v1.4.3 to something newer other than absolute laziness,
