UPDATE: I moded the skin you see here. See the following post for a screeny. For the mod files. I'm trying to find some minimalist skins for foobar2000.
Apr 16, 2013 - i use foobar.no fuss,no claims re superior audio quality from the host: just does. I've been using Dark One for a few years now.awesome.
Everywhere I go I'm flooded with crowded skins that show way to much information and ALWAYS seem to shove the god-awful album art:x (I hate album art. Who needs it.) in your face. So anyways, I'm looking for around for a simple skin, not to far off from the original UI, something with some color, not just white and gray:alien:. Something that doesn't have 10 different frames or sorts all your music based on each different meta-tag in existence; something simple that just sorts everything via playlists. Here's a good example of the kind of skin I'm talking about:) (yes this one does have album art, but its hidden away way down at the bottom, not in the center of the screen) Thanks for any suggestions.:D. I've gotten a few requests already so I figured I would just post it here. If you have any issues installing, just post here and I'll see what I can do.
Just to be 100% clear, I did not design this skin, I only modded it a bit. All props go to the original creator How to install? - First download skin pack and extract it to your Foobar2000 folder - merge all folders and overwrite existing plugins (or keep newer ones if you have them) - Go to Foobar's Preferences Display and chose ColumnsUI from User Interface Module - Restart Foobar (when you use ColumnsUI for the first time it'll ask you to accept all default settings) - Now go to Preferences Display ColumnsUI and in 'FCL importing and exporting' click on import and choose SubjectBeauty.fcl (for the original) or SubjectBeautymoddedbyconjor.fcl (my mod) file from 'foobar2000/skin'. Select all settings and then OK - TO CHANGE COLORS: Goto the ColumnsUI settings page under Layout; you can change the themes color here.
Again, I didn't make this skin, I only modded it. Note: I completly got rid of the 'NoCOVER' image at the bottom. If you want that instead of the foobar2000 icon, download the original file (see my first post) and swap out all the ' components nocover.png' images. Or put your own there lol. If you DO have album art then it will still show up there.
Fizbin69 posted this on Mar 28, 2016 Scroll down a bit, almost to the end of page 4. You can make it so it will show the cover but not the cover AND 'Playing' (via the Playing.png file) at the same time. It's either one or the other.
I can provide the details of displaying the cover only if you request. Right click anywhere on your ELP Playlist and select Settings. I love this skin even tho it's kind un user friendly. But I am having an issue with the middle panel. The waveform is covering the entire thing and the album art is under it unless i click on it and then the album art shows but the waveform is under it and the song title dont even show up. Im on a 1080p monitor cuz im not rich enuf for 4k. I looked at the options and it shows the waveform as horizontal but its obviously vertical.
Can i just remove the waveform completely? And how do i get the title and stuff to show up? Also, it seems that the album art is disappearing and the albums aren't grouping up.
I have to manually group them up. I will include some pics so you can see what im talking about.
Please respond to this at my email as I am rarely on Deviant. My email is [email protected]. OK, I'll try to help you.
