Download Images from here
Download PUI file from here
Download Help from here
Copy the Help and PUI file in PanelsUI folder (C:\Program files\foobar2000\PanelsUI)
Unzip images in your foobar install folder (C:\Program files\foobar2000). Be sure you get this folder: C:\Program files\foobar2000\dark1. If you get C:\Program files\foobar2000\dark1\dark1 or C:\Program files\foobar2000\images\dark1 folder then the skin won’t work. You must to set the images folder if you want to use your own images location).
After install:
- Go to Preferences (Ctrl+P) -> Display -> Panels UI and press “Reset Page” button
Enjoy it.

Great config! One problem, though… The playlist section only shows the shadow under each item and not the actual black text like the ones in this screenshot: http://www.mccartney.com.ar/dark1/1.26/06a.jpg . How do I fix that/what am I doing wrong? Other than that, I love it!

thx!!!
easy to install & a very nice design!!
still missing my beloved “playlist order button”
^^

Works brilliantly apart from one problem which I can’t seem to fix. When transparency is enabled on the playlist, it just sets the scpl background as white. Am I making a glaring error here, or is transparency only available using vista?

The playlist window looks exactly the same to me… maybe I just need to upgrade to Vista :-\

You need the latest PanelsUI for the transparency features, it seems the site is down at the moment though.

Ah, of course! I’m still using .12. Stupid me, I thought I’d got the newest one. Sorry for the stupidity

Great config but i have a problem. In one of the SS’s up top it shows the library having images when browsing the ARTIST section. I dont have any images only text, the only thing that shows the art is when browsing ALBUM (Large). What can i do to fix this?

Still getting a 404 with panels UI, and the guys username isn’t even on the site still.
May 28th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
is very nice. but could you build in the playlist tree panel for view the database files?
May 28th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Great config, it is way better than my old Columns UI setup. One question, is it possible to chance the lyrics font size independent of the rest of the player?
May 28th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
One more question: the now playing section doesn’t grab the artist image… how do I get this to work?
May 28th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Ok, I installed everything as directed, but I had to use a custom image directory (using XP x64, so foobar was installed to “Program Files (x86)” directory by default). When I run foobar, however, I get a blank black window with a message saying “Error trying to get images. Please install the files correctly or set the images location in the code.” So, that’s exactly what I did (for both images location and foobar location), but it’s still not working.
// SET IMAGES LOCATION
//———————————————————-
$setpvar(ImgLocation,D:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\Dark1\)
// SET FOOBAR2000 PATH
//———————————————————-
$setpvar(fooPath,D:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\)
That’s what is set, and that’s where everything is. I admit I am a noob here. I’m hoping I am staring the solution right in the face?
May 29th, 2007 at 9:00 am
You might need to make it:
$setpvar(ImgLocation,D:\Program Files ‘(‘x86′)’\foobar2000\Dark1\)
May 29th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Ah, that did the trick FofR, thanks. I had only tried quoting the entire path, not just the parenthesis.

Can I make the miniplayer display album art instead of artist art?
June 2nd, 2007 at 6:49 am

The PanelsUI files seem to have been updated (to v1.30), and thus the URLs have been changed.
PUI file: http://www.mccartney.com.ar/dark1/Dark1.30.pui
Images: http://www.mccartney.com.ar/dark1/Dark1.30.zip
Also, you can download PanelsUI (v0.13.6 beta) here:
