/// PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE GETTING MY CONFIG ///

ColumnsUI Config using Panel Stack Splitter gives Foobar2000 a kick ass look, but these configs are not recommended for newbies to Foobar2000, DefaultUI is a better choice if you don't know how to configure a component and if you don't know a little bit about titleformatting script used in Foobar

--- use at your own risk and matching your foobar capacities ---

Well i have some thoughts too about Curacao:

first: It needs an album list panel for sure!
second: Some details in the playlist make it difficult to read compared to the wonderful Ibiza and Kung foo! (well, i don't expect from Br3tt to do these changes though..he made the most difficult parts) So i changed these details in my Foobar:



Everyone can do changes like these by his own...Also i agree that album art is just eye candy with so small graphics...

Br3tt thanks so much for this brilliant configuration! Please accept with a positive way our comments...until now almost everything i wanted to be changed was changed by me...but there are some core elements like a bigger playlists browser and configurable list not only for artists but also for albums etc... and most of all an album list panel! Its very basic IMO!

thanx Mr. Pacman, aggree with you, everybody can mod my config to fit his needs

i can't make everybody please, it's before a config for my needs .. after a config for sharing

Good news, i have optimized the ELPlaylist scrolling, very faster and smoother in next release (will be 1.1)

Well, I tend to disagree with elenhil and pacman. I'm very happy, that Br3tt has not included Album list. I have come to the conclusion that for me, file browsers like facets or album list are unneccessary because:
I have plenty of autoplaylists to which I'm listening most of the time (like new songs, top songs, songs never played,etc..) and if I want to listen to some specific tunes, quicksearch is my best friend.

Please, take this as a piece of constructive criticism.

...

Once again, please, try to take this as a piece of constructive criticism.

thanx for this constructive mind
but i'll not change my config, i like it like this, it fit perfectly my needs and tastes

Regards

Hi there, newbie here but not so new to foobar. After using Ibiza for a while I'm very excited about Curaçao. I got it set up the way I like it except for one thing.
I'm on a 24" wide screen monitor at 1920x1200. At that resolution the album cover seems too small. So I decided to change it from 310x310 to 500x500. Except I run into problems with the album info and rating. I can't seem to find it in the splitter settings how to change the position. Any help is very much apreciated.

310x310 original:



500x500 changed:

you have only change the line :

$puts(default_left_panel_width,310)

in the Per TRack section script, have to be done in the Per Second section too to put text at the good place too !!

With Curacao, IBIZA and KUNG FOO you have 3 different solutions to the same 'problem' Each offers different ways to do things and each uses a totally distinct and different approach. Ultimately they should be regarded as frameworks to be personalized in any way you feel fit to suit your own needs, just choose which one is closest for you then use it as it is accepting the few features that don't quite suit you, or modify it to fit you 100%. One size can never fit all

Yes you are right!...well, except the album list...its a basic element that could be added as a secondary mini panel at the left or together with the other lists etc..hmmm..i may try to do it...! anyway!

the only way i see
