New To Foobar, Need Help With My Theme

I'm super new to Foobar and these forums, and just switched from iTunes after having enough. I've used Foobar for converting FLAC files to mp3's for a while, but I decided to make it my primary music player after being annoyed with others. I downloaded a theme and it looks great! (http://i.imgur.com/e1M6gjp.png?1)

But I am wondering if anyone knows how to change the genre column near the top left corner to a basic playlist selector, similar to iTunes or VLC player. Like I said I'm new to the forums and Foobar in general. If this is in the wrong forum, information is left out, or just a stupid question please let me know. I'm loving Foobar so far and plan on using it for a while!

Edit: I figured I should add my component data, sorry if its unnecessary

You mean you want to change Genre with something else? Right click right on Genre then Column and select what you want.



When I right click it only gives me the options for Genre, Artist and Album. (A picture of what I mean can be found here http://i.imgur.com/AdemIme.png?1 ) Is there anyway I can change that? Ideally I'd like it to be a basic playlist selector if that makes since. Kind of like the playlist selection in iTunes for lack of a better comparison.

Also thanks for linking the theme page!

He must have modified/removed them, this is what the default Facets looks like:

That's weird? That's exactly what my Facets looks like (except my genre is actually unchecked)

Those are CUI Filters. Facets cannot be embedded in CUI.

Sorry for being kinda bad at this but I'm not exactly sure what this means. I think you're saying that Facets basically isn't the component I'm looking for. Are there any other recommendations?

Edit: Or is it possible to just drop the genre box and replace it with something else?

Anyway, to answer your original question:

Go to the CUI Layout tab. Find the "Horizontal splitter" containing those filters (each is labeled "Filter") in the tree, right-click on it and select Insert panel > Panels > Playlist switcher.

Now find the "Playlist switcher" you just added to the tree (will be directly below the last filter) , right-click on it and choose "Move up" however many times necessary until its directly below the horizontal splitter.

Click "Apply" to see what it looks like because you might decide not to remove any filters.

If you still want to remove a filter, right-click on the filter you want to remove and select "Remove panel".

Click "Apply" again, then "OK". You'll likely need to resize some panels by dragging their edges.
