/// 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 ---

Falstaff,

All right, I was wrong to suggest the "centering" issue was your blunder, I take my words back. Still the issue of redundant information in this layout remains.

Rest assured, it's not your coding skills that I question, but your commitment to usability (which is not about satisfying a particular user by adding a certain feature). Usability is objective (and you may have noticed that I've given you logical basis for my ctiticism, which does not get disproved simply by someone saying it "looks" OK for him). Patterns of info significance distribution for left to right readers is objective. Text vs. graphics significance is objective. Object size recognizability dependance is objective (though, of course, somewhat variable).

P.S. And remeber - the difference between a coder and a developer lies in whether one codes primarily for oneself only (and is satisfied by simply "I like it like this") or for the others (and thus binds oneself by far higher standards). Keep up the good work and don't get descouraged by my criticism!
