The FooBar2000 skin/configuration thread

Not open for further replies.
argh- foobar is a player that's an escape from all thats wrong with music players these days. I mean, when was the last time somebody cared if it played music right?

A flash player in firefox can play music as well as a run of the mill music player. The most important thing that foobar does is play music and it does it best- period.

If its maker had intended it to be skinned ( and I'm pretty sure he doesnt), he would have made it a lot easier.

And still we have people who want to make it dandy. Foobar isn't fugly, if it was , i'd have understood the need. configuration, and adding the panels is fine with me. But the folks who want to skin it. I have no idea why. go use itunes , or winamp or something ( i mean, even i do sometimes)

A more generalized question based on this:

I've been pampered by my brother who used to design skins regularly and set them up for me. I havent been in touch with him for a while, and i want to get into it myself. I tried reading a bit on the hydrogen audio and neowin forums, but im confused as **** (my one and only gripe about open source is that documentation and support is so de-centralized\unorganized\unapproachable).

The hyrdogenaudio forums seem to have ceased all discussion about panels UI while the neowin forums continue to discuss themes based on it. So, has panels UI been phased out?

What are the theming\configuration options (columns\panels ui) available to foobar 0.9.5.x ( or the version where theyve revamped the front end with code-free basic customizations)?

Some resources where i can read up on foobar customization or bowse through themes which are relevant to the latest versions of foobar.

thanks in advance
 
According to what I read on Hydrogen Forums Panel UI used a non standard way of writing window information to screen and with the new foobar version that particular way of doing things has been in blocked, so it does not work any more.
 
can anyone upload good presets for the equalizer? i dont know how to set it, i mess it up when i try to change it. :P

if someone can upload the preset for rock(not hard/metal) music and pop, it would be great. :)

dont equalizer settings depend on your speakers? for example if your speakers dont pump out enough bass, you increase the lower frequencies. so it depends on the limitations of your speakers and your listening preference.

the point being that people will be hard pressed to give you a preset for the above reason.
