Description I've finally (kind of) finished my first skin for foobar2000 and wanted to share it with you for some feedback.
So please leave a comment and add it to your favourites, if you like it.

I'm still working on the installation notes. Tell me, if something isn't clear enough or doesn't work.

-- READ THIS FIRST (it may solve your problem) --
How to install:
1. Install foobar2000 v1.1.x.
2. Extract the archive and copy the folders (components, skins) to your foobar2000 folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\foobar2000).
3. Start foobar2000 and choose Columns UI as your default interface. If you're not prompted to, go to Preferences -> Display and do so.
4. Uncheck Safe mode under Preferences -> Tools -> WSH Panel Mod.
5. Go to Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI and click on Import... under FCL importing and exporting.
6. Choose fooSound.fcl under C:\Program Files\foobar2000\skins\fooSound, make sure you have everything checked and confirm with OK.
7. Uncheck Show toolbars.
8. Go to Preferences -> Tools -> EsPlaylist -> Behaviour and copy these settings (Rating editing is only availabe, when Playback Statistics is installed!).
9. Enjoy!

Plugins needed (included):
· Columns UI
· WSH Panel Mod 1.5.0
· Panel Stack Splitter
· Biography view
· Channel spectrum panel
· EsPlaylist
· Lyrics Show Panel 3

Update 22-11-2011:
· updated the Lyrics Show Panel 3 to 0.2 beta

Update 09-11-2011:
· "Pseudo Transparent" mode of WSH Panel Mod is no longer needed, therefore it does not flicker anymore
· added components to archive

Update 06-11-2011:
· added option to hide artwork
· some minor changes

Update 05-11-2011:
· implemented a better seekbar script

I used Free UI Elements by ~Czarny-Design for the buttons.

Every time I star the foobar,message window say:
Scripting Engine Initialization Failed (Simple Seekbar by marc2003, CODE: 0x80020101)
Check the console for more information (Always caused by unexcepted script error).

You need to deactivate the "Safe mode". See step 4 in the description under "How to install".
Have you solved your other problem? Otherwise look if everything is in its right place.
The folder structure is important.

Thanks! Have you disabled the safe mode of the WSH Panel Mod?
You can find it here: Preferences -> Tools -> WSH Panel Mod -> Scripting Host Setting.

Mhh... good question. Not at the moment.
I just came back from a long holiday abroad and actually I'm pretty happy with the skin right now.
There are things I'd like to improve about it, but they would require some proper programming skills.
Nevertheless, please feel free to make suggestions.

con-sin In reply to DoubtfulTruth [2012-01-06 11:08:40 +0000 UTC]

On the top of the left column you've got a small icon with a music note on a sheet.
If you click on it, it will change to Lyrics Show Panel.

Just switched to foobar from iTunes last night, and installed your skin shortly after, and I am loving it! My only question is would it be possible to put a search bar on the bottom of playlist view? Thanks for the great skin!

Alright now I can't get it to show the actual artwork, just a placeholder. Sorry fir all the comments.

con-sin In reply to nacair [2012-01-02 12:06:56 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... that's odd.
Try to right click on the placeholder and go to Options. Now you can choose the artwork sources. I don't know where your artworks are (embedded, album folder or elsewhere), so you have to figure it out.
Hope I could help.

Hello and thank you for the excellent skin!
I have a bit of a problem. I have followed the instructions but have no volume control and no visualization. Here's screenshot . Using latest foobar2000 1.1.10 on Windows 7 x64.

con-sin In reply to konno8 [2011-12-03 19:05:40 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.
To solve you problem just read the comment from Ich4326 before yours.
If you want to hide the toolbar go to Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI -> Main and uncheck show toolbars.
I hope I could help you.

konno8 In reply to con-sin [2011-12-03 19:15:25 +0000 UTC]

Aha, so window has to have certain dimensions for these elements to be visible. I somehow looked blindly through that previous comment. Thank you again!

lch4326 [2011-11-22 13:46:46 +0000 UTC]

It's great, i completed the installation follows your guides.
In the EsPlaylist -> Behaviour -> Rate Editing -> Command, i can't find the setting shown in your screenshot (Playback Statistics/Rating/)
In the lyric panel, it always shows that no lyrics have been found yet. I tried Right Click -> Lyric Search, but it found nothing also.
The volume control and the spectrum are not show properly, after i maximize the player, then it can be shown. Is it resolution problem? I'm using 1280x800.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

con-sin In reply to lch4326 [2011-11-22 17:13:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that.
The setting you're talking about is only available, if you have the Playback Statistics installed. So you don't have to bother.
I can't really do anything about the lyrics, but the developer of Lyrics Show Panel 3 updated it a few days ago. This should fix it more or less.
Regarding the volume control and spectrum... yes, it is a resolution problem. The window must be wider than 1100 pixels. Otherwise they would overlap with other elements in the top bar, since their size is fixed.

Thanks, the lyrics panel work well after updated to 0.2 beta.
Great jobs, i like this skin very much.

Thanks!
Personally I don't need Chronflow. Afaik the newest version is from April 2008 and it doesn't support embedded artwork. If you know an alternative or some more people want it, I would take a look.

I already knows that its dead end project but I've found it incredible useful, and works like a charm in every config I've tried out. Anyways, should be great to get it as an alt panel, but if not, its ok. Thanks!
