To create perfectly sizing images, it is best to design images with either a hard edge, or no alpha transparency (depending upon skin). With this in mind internally foobar will set the edge pixel to blend against the shown neighbour, but even this is not perfect. Depending upon onto which the final image will be drawn to, the lighter or darker image might look totally wrong. If the background was black the edge red would be darkened. The alpha issue arises now with the edge pixels, in image 2 they are lightened red (because the background color under the alpha layer is white), this is called color bleeding. Now image 2 is image 1 resized down (as the program might do to put the image on a display), it has been reduced to 21%. genericfont - the font used, specifies colour in r,g,b and optional bold itallic values, example 0,0,0 itallicĮach of the 8 skin files are made up from components, these components draw the skin they are:Ī word about transparencies, take the following zoomed images (1 and 2), image 1 is a simple red line with an alpha layer, the line is perfectly masked:. backgroundcol - the background colour for Browsing and Playlist, in r,g,b. iconplay, iconpause, iconfolder are icons to be used in track listing, they should be at least 400x400 pixels and contain an alpha layer.

There isn’t any Chromecast or video playback support that I’m aware of (like you can setup on the big boy desktop version), but that isn’t a big issue. I know there are several freemium media player apps out there that support network media libraries, but Foobar is free, works excellently especially for those with a very large library of media in assorted formats.
No issues or hiccups, just no nonsense playback of my media library from my phone. I then turn both components on and find that the Foobar app is able to immediately access the media server and flawlessly playback (and download) my media library via WiFi. So I remember that I had toyed around with using the UPnP media server and renderer component on the desktop years ago but never ended up using them. However I only have a 32GB iPhone, limiting the quantity of songs I can sync at one time. I would like to listen to my large music library while at home on my iPhone (organized over the course of MANY years through the desktop version of Foobar2000).
