  • columns_ui

    Alternative UI for the foobar2000 audio player

  • I'm just a rookie when it comes to customizing, but the basic tool columns UI was useful for me (https://yuo.be/columns-ui) There are some premade themes such as eole, but as far as I've seen they don't offer as many options when it comes to colors. And for the audio visualizers - I like to use foo_musical_spectrum. You can easily change colors of the bars etc.

  • foo_spider_monkey_panel

    foobar2000 component that allows to use JavaScript to create CUI/DUI panels

  • 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.

  • WorkOS
