foobar2000 minimalist layout

Hello,

I'm new here and i thank you for all the informations i can find.

My hifi system is laptop, dac, preamp, amp, and speaker, and the use of the preamp remote to control the listening(foobar and preamp).
I use foobar2000 in latest version 2..24.3 x64 on w11 for its black theme.
The remote is setup using flirc usbA, superposing laptop keyboard.

I can only use 7 remote buttons to control foobar: track<, track >,search<<,search>>, play, pause and stop.

At the moment my minimalist layout needs 2 UI element , album list(sort by folder structure) and album viewer.
So i can scroll the albums, see their pictures, play, pause stop and have next&previous track.

What i wish would be the possibility to have the same fonctions without the need of UI element album list.

Why ? because i sit 4 meters from the speaker and i cannot read the laptop screen, i only need to see  the front album Art
and scroll up and down.

How would you setup foobar for that ?

You want a library viewer that can display covers. Maybe something like Coverflow (this one is a mod for 32/64-bit that can also follow playlists, discussion topic here).

I'm not sure what your remote control buttons are mapped to for scrolling to the next album? - Coverflow can use left/right arrow keys for that, besides mouse wheel.

The preferences for it are a little confusing. It looks like if you right-click the Coverflow window > Library Selections > Set Library Selection, it appears to update the library playlist to that album when you scroll, then hitting 'Play' should play it. (You might need Playback menu > Playback Follows Cursor on).
