I decided to try foobar after reading one thread...i already try to change as far as i know..but..my layout is like this.
My foobar

I really like it to be something like this...i already installed the foo_ui_columns, but couldnt change the buttons. anyway, does this file is same with foo_columns?
insyte's foobar

i really want to change the button. i already "un-tick" the "use custom button" and disable default drawing.

can anyone help me on how to change the button.already load them, but couldnt change...

I really give it up as all the setting is...just...  couldnt understand any of it...


thanx

I guess you missed #6 when reading the TOS. Please read it again.
Double thread removed.

You might want to read the page about customising Columns UI from the Columns UI wiki, if you have not done that already.

Thanx..I'll try that later.

Got a new problem though...whenever i start foobar, i got this error message

ERROR (foo_ui_columns) : Failed to load libpng. Ensure you have libpng and zlib present in an appropriate location.
INFO (foo_looks) : Initializing GDI+
INFO (CORE) : startup time: 469 ms

what that supposed to mean? how can I ensure i do have libpng and zlib?

Please check ColumnsUI-thread @ HydrogenAudio.org

Also check the ColumnsUI-homepage - you'll find infos about the needed dlls under Components > ColumnsUI.
These dlls are needed for png-button-support

Okey... i already put zlib.dll and libpng.dll as an error shows.

ERROR (foo_ui_columns) : Failed to load libpng. Ensure you have libpng and zlib present in an appropriate location.
INFO (CORE) : startup time: 750 ms

and put it in the main folder, not in the component folder. but, why the above message keep appearing?

The only way to change equalizer-seetings in foobar is the foobar-preferences-window which is not resizeable.
Assuming that equalizer-settings are not changed that often this is bearable.
Using a hotkey for preferences will shorten the access, with further foobar-usage everything will become faster anyway.
Of course it would be fine if there would be an equalizer-panel and/or at least hotkey-support for loading different equalizer-settings - in general.
I use equalizer only with radio dramas as their quality is often very low and sound is dull.
I don't know which changes the new foobar-version/SDK will bring but this will hopefully be possible, otherwise it may take a long long time until new changes and possibilities may be made.

There is still some work to do, a fast-access-menu and hotkey-support for DSP is not really overdue but would be a very fine piece of ass
