It is possible to modify the Foobar window title?

Is it possible to show the version number in the window title? (Perhaps through a registry hack?)

You can make it show following the track data by adding '['%_foobar2000_version%']' in prefs/display/default user interface/windows title.  That will make for example [foobar2000 v.1.6.4] show at the end of the string, the brackets are optional.

Hmmm, I can't get this to work.  I've done as you've instructed but it's not working.  Funny thing is that in the preview window, it displays just fine but in the actual Foobar window title, it's not working.  Is it because I'm using Columns UI add-on?

You appear to have Columns UI installed. If you are currently using Columns UI as your interface, you will need to configure the title bar there, assuming it provides a means to do so.

OK, finally figured it out.  I was making the change in the wrong preference section.  For anyone using Columns UI, here are the steps involved.

Didn't work in the DUI so I tried removing the quotes.
Code: [Select]
[%_foobar2000_version%]
works for me

Maybe the single quotes (inside and outside the brackets) didn't work for you due to the rest of your field's syntax.  For me, in DUI this code produces the view shown below it:

Code: [Select]
[%album artist% - ]['['%album%[ #%tracknumber%]']' ] %title%[ '//' %track artist%]   '['%_foobar2000_version%']'

Code: [Select]
[%_foobar2000_version%] - [%album artist% - ]['['%album%[ CD%discnumber%][ #%tracknumber%]']' ]%title%[ '//' %track artist%]

produces

No need to use the brackets at all, it will always be defined. They were only selected and quoted in the above string to actually put literal brackets into the title.

The single quotes around the square brackets are required to print the square brackets. And printing them is required if you wish to simulate the way foobar2000 itself displayed its version back in the day.
