IMPORTANT: use this version of foobar: [link]
it won't work with newer versions

How to install my theme

First you need to copy all the files from the archive foo_smooth.rar to your foobar2000 directory (i recommend to use a fresh installation). After that you need to get the font "Calibri" which i can't provide because of the copyright. But Calibri comes with some Microsoft products like Vista, Office 2007 or the free PowerPoint Viewer 2007.

Go to Preferences -> Display and choose Panels UI as the User Interface Module and then go to Panels UI and select smooth.pui as the default layout.

Now you need to install .NET framework 3.0 or higher for the album art downloader and the queue manager to work. If you're using Vista you already have this programm installed. You can find it on the microsoft homepage.

Go to the Preferences again and set the Lyric show plugin up like on this screenshot: [link]

To use the Quicksearch you need to import your music collection to the database. You can do this in the Preferences under Media Library by adding your music folder. After that you have to scan these folders by clicking on the "Rescan Media Library" button. Everytime you add new music to your folder you have to rescan the Media Library so that it can be found using the search panel. From now on you just need to enter the album, the artist, or the song you want to listen to and it appears in a new playlist. Set the background color of the quicksearch plugin to 247-247-247 and the fontcolor to 50-50-50. Also apply this color scheme to the queue manager and set the font to calibri, size 8.

Now you have to set up foo_chronflow. Do everything exactly like on this screenshot: [link]
now copy this code for the "Cover Display" tab: [link]
You can set the performance options as you like. I recommend to use 16 pass multisampling for smooth edges.

If you can't set smooth.pui as the layout it usually helps to deinstall foobar2000 and to delete the whole foobar folder. After that just install it again, unzip my theme and it should work.

If the playlist doesn't look like on the screenshot it might help to make a rightclick on it and go to Sort / Group by -> Artist / Date / Album
