foo_spider_monkey_panel VS Library-Tree

SMP v1.6.1 Biography-v1.4.1.zip Library-Tree-v2.4.0.zip

Curious why are you using such old versions? SMP 1.3.0 was over three years ago. And Library Tree is 2.4.0 currently with tons of improvements since the first versions.

Download the file called foo_spider_monkey_panel.fb2k-component and drag+drop the file to foobar Preferences > Components page.

you can do everything you're looking to do with varying amounts of complexity or difficulty. to start, open the menu and find "Layout Editing Mode," it should be under "View," and start swapping out panels--this is where you can change visualizations and add more UI elements like buttons; I think you already know how to do this but I'm just making sure. don't look into Columns UI until you're comfortable customizing the default layout. to change colors, press CTRL P and expand "Display" and "Default User Interface," under there--you should see "Colors and Fonts." to add custom backgrounds, you're going to need to use JS, which can be done through components like the Spider Monkey Panel, but I wouldn't mess with this until you're comfortable with everything else.

Spider Monkey Panel, definitely

Sorry about that, didn't realize spider monkey didn't have a download there. Here you go.

You could however install Spider Monkey Panel (v1.5.2 is currently recommended) and use the included sample scripts for playback buttons, or use one of the already made themes.

Try with the latest version of SMP https://github.com/TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel/releases/download/v1.5.2/foo_spider_monkey_panel.fb2k-component

No, you have to use other method. They're 3 ways to do that : 1 - go to Library - Facets (somewhere in the left you have the option to choose Library or Playlist) . Disadvantage : since you're using CUI (and that's a good choice) you can't add Facets to your layout, it's only a pop up panel 2 - you can use this component https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=120109.0 to add Facets (or other DUI elements) in a floating panel (you can have the panel in the right side, or left side, or above, play with the settings it's cool) 3 - install this component ( Spider Monkey Panel) : https://github.com/TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel/releases/tag/v1.5.1. Add a Spider monkey panel panel to your layout, then install this script https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=110938.0;attach=19911 More details here : https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=110938.msg997853#new and here https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=111060.300

SMP v1.6.1 Biography-v1.4.1.zip Library-Tree-v2.4.0.zip

Curious why are you using such old versions? SMP 1.3.0 was over three years ago. And Library Tree is 2.4.0 currently with tons of improvements since the first versions.

The current version of Library Tree, on the other hand, has tons more features and is "stand-alone" that can be placed in any user-made theme. (foobar is a "make your own" player)

Also once Spider Monkey Panel goes 64-bit (hopefully soon as well), the Library Tree script replicates much of what Facets did including album art views, multiple filter panes, and even does some things better like highlighting now playing. (I would not be surprised if we get SMP updated before ReFacets)

Are you still using Album List or did you install Library Tree (w/ Spider Monkey Panel)?

Firstly, which theme are you talking? (If Eole, if I'm not mistaken it still uses old versions which have limited features compared to the current version of Library Tree script)

The "big three" scripts by WilB are invaluable to me - Library Tree is closely approaching the best library viewer foobar has seen, it already mimics a lot of Facets, and the next version will apparently bring it even more in line with that. Biography auto-downloads and displays artist photos and missing cover art, and lets you read those in-depth artist wikipedia articles directly in foobar. And then Find & Play lets you listen to albums you do not even have yet - wondering what else the currently selected artist has done? In one click you can see everything they've released and load an album into a playlist, ready to stream from YouTube. (I mean, come on!)

Since you are on 32-bit, you can install Spider Monkey Panel and put Library Tree in there. As it shows on the screenshots, you can put two panels next to each other, and setup the view / source to show Artist -> Album covers, similar to Facets. (Library Tree has quite a lot of view options, including tree modes, list mode / columns, cover art and flow modes, and then lots of options on top)

If you're on 32-bit, install Spider Monkey Panel and add Library Tree script.

With a library viewer like Facets or Library Tree script, in a single column / tree you can combine multiple fields - %%|%% - identical artist names will be merged into one entry. This way clicking the one name you get a complete list of an artist entire works, including features, appearances, etc (as many tags as you add). Alternatively, you can do the opposite with each tag in a separate column / tree branch, to filter the featured artist under / next to the lead artist. (I've never tried to set that up in a tree though it could be interesting!)
