George thank you for the reply. Didn't work (because I have WIN98SE,
but GDI+ installed?)
Guenter
I also tried the skins *.dll with WIN98 using GDI+ with no luck. Even tried
the beta foobarlooks *.dll which requires LUA *.dlls and the GDI+ *.dll.
That didn't work either. The non-beta crashed FooBar anytime a menu option
was selected (Foobar would close and upon exit would open a errors text
file). The beta seemed more promising as I could actually open the
preferences dialog and see that the looks *.dll had installed, but the GUI
would go crazy when selecting the FooBarLooks menu item.
Speaking of GUIs and Foobar: does anybody know of an alternate source for
the foo_syfm.dll created by BillCow and made available on the FooBar forum:
http://billcow.cjb.net/foo_syfm.dll
The above link does not work anymore. The *.dll allows you to change the
appearance of the FooBar GUI on the fly without having to go through all
the "cut & paste" that you otherwise have to do with the text strings.
Thank you.
P.S.
I've been a happy user of QCD (Quintessential Player) for some time now and
I probably won't give it up. It definitely has some nice skins available,
has plenty of features, and is a solid player. Also, QCD uses less CPU
cycles than FooBar if that matters to you. QCD on one of my PCs never goes
above 8% average while FooBar ranged from 13.5% to over 30% depending on
which playback device I used in the settings (no other DSPs were on, nor
was resampling on...that high CPU usage was strictly based on playback
device chosen).
