One of the best parts about Foobar is the endless customization options of the UI.  I'm always tinkering around with mine, and I think I've achieved a fairly unique look and feel.  The point of this thread is to showcase (read:  show off) your foobar layout and share it with others.  The rules are simple:

 

1.)  Post a screenshot of your foobar configuration.

 

2.)  Provide the details about all the plugins, etc., you used to achieve this layout.

 

3.)  Provide a download link to your theme and any applicable plugins that may be needed.  (To export your theme, hit File > Preferences > Display > Default User Interface and then hit the "Export Theme" button.

 

 

 

Before we begin, I'd like to start off with a few notes about importing custom foobar themes.  First, if any plugins are required for the theme, those plugins MUST be installed before you import the theme.  If not, it'll just tell you that whatever elements the plugins run are broken or missing.  If you are not sure how to install Foobar plugins, just follow this link for more information.  

 

After you have the plugin(s) installed, you can import the theme(s) by using the same instructions for exporting a theme.  The buttons are right next to each other in the preferences menu.

The purpose of my layout is simple - I wanted a layout that did everything I wanted in a tidy, organized manner with an old-school retro format.  Overall, it's not that fancy of a layout, but that was part of the original goal.

 

Note:  I use a custom theme for Windows 7 to achieve the final appearance.  It makes ALL windows/programs appear similar to the second image.  If you do not know how to install a custom Win7 theme, click here for more information.  A download link to the theme itself will be found below.

 

UI Plugins

 

Foobar Playlist Organizer (foo plorg) - The box in between my albums list and the active playlist.  Allows the creation of folders to help better organize playlists.  

 

Win7 Theme

 

Steam VS Simple - Steam-inspired theme for Windows 7.  Adds a pleasing grey color, and comes with a very nice Steam logo wallpaper.  Comes bundled with two slightly altered version of the same theme.  Primary change is found in the design scheme of the taskbar.

 

For a similar theme in WinXP, check out this fantastic theme (that I really miss), black2.

Retro Functionality - Simply import as mentioned above, or double click if the file type is already associated with Foobar.

Back in the day, when I ran windows, I used to use VERONiCA:

I really miss it, probably my most missed program. Nothing on Linux has really filled the gap :(

export PS1='\[\033[1;30m\]┌╼ \[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[1;30m\] ╾╼ \[\033[0;34m\]\w\[\033[0;36m\]\n\[\033[1;30m\]└╼ \[\033[1;37m\]'
