Here is a screenshot of my desktop running foobar2000 and samurize together.... i think its pretty cool and i thought i'd show it just to shoe what foobar2000 can do...

pretty sweet for being "minimalistic"

[Link removed]

EDIT: fixed link

LOL, you have the same theme as me.

Here's a pic of my desktop

great minds...

and fools rarely...

Wow,

What's that theme called and where can I get it? Themexp.org?

Spadge

Edit: Ahh...found it. (It's called Dragon Style is anyone else likes it)

Great looking theme that is. Makes my old background look not-so-good But at least I made it myself!

Here's a quick shot of my screen desktop. Maybe I should think of finally changing those crappy icons..

spase, where did you get that variation of the Dragon Style theme?

The version Gemini (and I) have has a gigantic taskbar and titlebar, which is no good.

Bonj,

The taskbar size is however big you make it!.

If you right click on it and uncheck "lock the taskbar", then drag it down (or up if you want it bigger) you can resize it. Then lock it again when you're done so you can't move it anymore.

That's what I do anyway.
Spadge

No, no, I know Gemini has his taskbar stretched to double size, but the original size is very, very thick.

spase's theme has a much thinner taskbar.

Ah yes, now I see what you mean.
The look of the system tray area is also a little different.

Sorry about that.

Just registered but I have been following this forum/program for awhile. My current setup is mostly stock; only real changes are the 3rd party seekbar plugin mentioned in another thread and having the current track blue.

Here's mine.

i have that theme too except mines the blue ver

403 Forbidden

Edit: (somewhat) works now. it's darned slow

My desktop: http://hem.passagen.se/delphi/desktop.jpg (copy and paste this URL and it should work, yes I'm getting a better host soon).

forbidden here (now at least)

A page with a little pic saying OOPS and "Tyvärr!" and a long message.

Yeah, I have to get a better (free) host, any suggestions?

hmm nope not really, i'd like to know too .
I can suggest though that because this host doesn't support off-site linking to binaries you can upload an html page with the picture instead. More work but it'll work .

i got it from themexp.org....

id be happy to send it over if you like... i also have a matching login screen and boot screen with the dragon on it

Ok, thanks for the help :> Click HERE to see my desktop.

Hmm, it is there and it shouldn't be forbidden.

Well, I made some changes to my foobar setup, click the link on my previous post to see them :>

Question - how to make foobar transparent like you did? (without making the letter transparent). Regards, Coyote

Coyote: The text IS transparent, but it's white (or nearly white) and so the black background + transparency = good-looking text. I myself just have tried different colors so it looks good with transparency on.

Changed my fb2k strings (you can find them from the title formatting -topic), Samurize string a bit, gave the old background a little facelift and also took new icons from somewhere. God damn this Win2k, as I had to hack those icons to show up nicely (antialiased).

Screenshot is avaliable here

That would be most excellent :)

For those who would like free hosting, read my sig!

Ruairi

Coyote,

What you can see when you're refering to the background being transparent but not the text is actually not foobar. That is a program called Samurize. Get it here

You can use Samurize along with the foobar plugin textinfo to display the currently playing song on your desktop

Spadge

Spadge: thanks for the tip, I'll do that!

here is my desktop. If enyone wants to have title formating like mine, please sent me PM.

where to?

bonj.servebeer.com:21 upload/batsmah would be excellent. I've been waiting for you to sign on AIM but you never do

With simplified status bar, and Samurize in the back

@anza: Which font are you using for the menu bar?
BTW, your desktop looks great

EDIT: Here is my desktop:
http://stud4.tuwien.ac.at/~e0125672/foobar.png

I don't like skinning but I am sure none of your desktop's look anything like mine

BTW: The black rectangle below the docked foobar2000 is the overlay window from my tv application

EDIT2: I am suprised how many people are using the great Samurize

MaxAuthority: I'm using ProFontWindows. Not in foobar only, but also in Windows

I love minimalism B)

@ranor: LOL! I thought I was the only person who had found the Lime font for FB2k playlist display. Never seen a font get so much info into so small a space... =)

Totally cool desktop, BTW.
LiteShell owns.

i've looked everywhere i can think of to get hold of the lime font but can't find it anyway

can anyone give me a pointer to where i might find it? :/

Greenish format string

Lime is in the zip file above along with the greenish format string.

Since we are doing this ill have to show mine:

http://www.overclockers.com.au/~mwp/temp/Image2.jpg

The background image is updated every 5mins with new real-time cloud info (xplanet).
The weather info is from BOM, also updated every 5mins.

Hmm, i might have to add some FB2K controls to it.

Could I please get a copy of that updated dragon style theme? I looked on themexp and couldn't find the exact same one.

my desktop is simple:)

My Desktop

thanks, very much appreciated :)

Except for the crappy host I'm pretty satisfied with my desktop...
The unrevealation of the LIME font made my life SOOOO much prettier! Thanks!

Being a BSD fan, I'm used to font's created by artwiz (for blackbox.) Edges, Lime, Lisp, Mints-mild/strong, Gelly are all Great fonts. If any of you have access to these fonts for windows, hit me up

While I'm on the topic of open source, here's my sister's linux distro screenshot. Sweet.
Gnome-Aqua Revamped!!

Yep, i guess you havent discovered the windows version of blackbox ...

In any case if you dont feel like changing your default win shell i zipped them for ya.

[personal fav. Lime / nu]

As for my desktop , here's my 800x600 laptop...

First off: You Own Dude! Been looking for those fonts for a while, and I was too lazy to figure out how to convert them to a Windows-friendly environment.

Btw, were you able to get those fonts working? In the playlist I mean. Most of the strings I 'l33ched' requested certain fonts. Anywho, I'm gonna download those fonts, and test em.

ps: U RoXor'S my BoXeRs

I've tried Object Desktop before, but the only thing that works for me is WindowsBlinds.. Well thanks for showing all the great stuff you use, I think i'll give some of it a try.. Samurize and LiteShell are already on the download list
