@URT = calibri numbers evidently change slightly between size 8 and size 9 ;P
@ repsaj: Visual style is like, a bblean theme and a united hack.
FCS isn't relevant.
Fonts are calibri and cambria (copyright MS fonts)

Etc?
I guess my album art pic, but that's designed for my wallpaper so there's no real point.
Here's the overlay thing that gives shit shineyness though:

I agree. Very slick, tool. The part the intrigues me most is how you have the album art showing next to each album. Good idea. I'd do that but I like the album art having a larger area so I can see it better.
Also, I prefer that none of the words be cut off due to limited space. I'd suggest that you make the panels on the left wider, but then I see that the same information is also in a header for each album, so I'd just as soon get rid of the info below the album art altogether. Besides, some albums have no info below it and some have at least 3 things. I do dislike inconsistencies.
And what if an album has fewer than 5 tracks? How does the album art fit into that?
Don't think I'm trying to tell you how it should look. I'm just saying what I would change if it was mine. And it's rare to find someone who likes my foobar setup...
Yeah don't get me wrong, I've thought of these problems and I'd love to solve all of them, but I can't actually think of plausible solutions. I'd like to have the text on the right wrapping, I'd like to have the column wider. I guess I could try the text next to the album rather than below, but that would mean the column is extremely wide, and this is a small layout.
If you have any ideas how I could fix these things though feel free.
Why isn't a .fcs file relevant, is it not culumn_ui? I desperately want my Foobar to look like that but have no idea where to begin (where the hell do I paste the code you've given us? I can't see "Group by:" / "Group Display:" etc. anywhere).
I used to think I had a basic understanding of this stuff, but I guess not. Any help would be great, but a .zip of your foobar dir would suffice.
