Additional Components

These components are provided as separate downloads, found on the Additional Components page.

Deprecated components

These components are no longer maintained and provided only for compatibility with old configurations that rely on them. Functionality similar to what they offer is now provided through other still-maintained components.

3rd Party Components

The following components are created and maintained by 3rd-party authors, using foobar2000's SDK. Support for these components should be asked for in the 3rd Party Plugins forum Asking for help directly in the component's thread is usually preferred.

User Interfaces

Columns UI

Columns UI (foo_ui_columns) Very popular alternate interface for foobar2000 based on a columns and panel layout.

Columns UI introduced components with panel capability which extend the user interface.

GFX

GFX window (foo_ui_gfx) is a skinnable user interface, which doesn't only focus on looking good but tries to be as fast and "lightweight" as possible, too. It uses lua as scripting language. Two skins are included in the archive. Development of this component appears to have ceased.

Panels UI

Panels UI (foo_ui_panels) gives the ability to manage multiple panels through titleformating. No longer maintained and not compatible with current foobar2000 releases anymore.
