HTPC Fullscreen panels for foobar2000

This page comprises configuration scripts for WSH Panel Mod (foo_uie_wsh_panel_mod), a scriptable UI element for the audio player foobar2000. I use them on my living room computer to display what I’m listening to.

WSHtpc04—delayed displays

Basically WSHtpc03 with moved album art to make space for a new “tag grid” that can be easily configured with custom title formatting scripts. On track or tag change all information is presented. By default, most information is hidden to make space for a huge album art display. This is how it looks:

All fonts, colours, title formatting scripts and background image path are easily configurable in the header section of the script file. This is also my first configuration with a clickable progress bar.

Requirements & Installation

These configurations need foobar2000 installed with the WSH Panel Mod component.

  1. Copy included image files to %Foobar2000ProfilePath%/images/WSHtpcXX/*.[png|jpg]. (This folder is either located in c:/Users/YourName/Appdata/Roaming/foobar2000 or in the installation directory for portable version.)
  2. Add a WSH Panel to your configuration. In default user interface, use the Layout Editing Mode. In Columns UI, edit your layout in Preferences.
  3. Right-click on the empty panel and select “Configure”.
  4. Copy the contents of the included file to the panel’s configuration window.
  5. Hit Ok.

That’s it.
