Changelog: :: All updated components as of 20 June 2010. :: Additional clickable preferences icon.
What is the difference between MonoLiteMod and MonoLiteMod-Slim :: Squeeze up the size but still packed with extra features. :: Rating icons changed. :: Stop button included. :: Playback order replaces statusbar on the hidden bottom edge button. :: Last.fm API intergration. (only for monolitemodslim_lastfm.fcl) :: Clicking top right edge hidden button which toggle the scroller, will also auto switch the tab to Playlist tab, instead of non-effect when highlighted to other tabs. :: Ditch Library tab and replace with an icon, which able to view along with Playlist con-currently. :: A click to db magnifier icon will leads to playlist SHOW NOW PLAYING song.
Setup: :: make a backup for component folder inside foobar folder. :: extract mesia.7z archive in the default foobar2000 folder. :: run foobar with ColumnsUI as interface :: go to preferences -> ColumnsUI -> Main -> use Import Button to import the monolitemodslim.fcl (or monolitemodslim_lastfm.fcl for intergrating data with lastfm) file, apply all imported layout.
Better view when: :: disable toolbars (click top left edge button) and status bar. :: hide playlist scroller on playlist window (click top right edge button) :: keep height aspect to 6 rows of group header. (optimized for Info tab)
Additional info: :: In order to make sure library directory is working, go to menu -> file -> preferences (or simply ctrl+p) -> media library ->add music folders. :: Volume setting can be toggled via bottom left edge button. :: Playback order icons can be toggled via bottom right edge button. :: Playlist scroller can be toggled via top right edge button. :: Single track playlist can be done by adding "SINGLETRACK" with value "1". :: In order to intergrate last.fm data into your foobar, 2 things you need to do after you have selected monolitemodslim_lastfm.fcl as your theme: 1. Go to preferences -> Tools -> Soft Playlists -> Type your Last.fm User ID and Password. 2. Right click EXCLAMATION/LOVE icon -> Configure -> insert your username and api_key. Your api_key can be obtained here. [link] 3. You may encounter "Scripting Engine Initialization Failed" error. Workaround of this problem is got to Preferences -> Tools -> WSH preferences -> untick 'Safe Mode' option.

C&C are appreciated Many thanks for the downloads in advance
Thanks for this awesome foobar skin! I enjoy the minimalistic aspect of it! I hope you will come up with updates which will make it better looking and simpler too. Thanks!
The info panel rating isn't working with the new playback statistics component (unless I have to write the ratings int the files. Also the lyrics panel is outdated; development was picked up again in a component.
I miss the expand/collapse buttons though for the album list
Would like to know how to remove the Lyrics and Bio tabs though since I dont use them. The components can be removed arbitrarily enough but I'm a blonde when it comes to removing the tabs.
Thanks! which one you prefer to remove the tab? either with or without last.fm intergration? due to maintain its compactness, so i pass on putting the expand/collapse buttons.
I'm using the config without the last.fm integration. In the interest of keeping it really compact and slim, just wanna know how to remove these two tabs I don't use: [link]
If it's not possible its all good. Thanks again for the theme.
