current version: foo_looks 2.0 (public beta)

 

Installing & running foo_looks 2.0

despite the risk of sounding patronizing, i think it best that i describe the process in steps:

Step 1

download the following files to your computer:

- foo_looks 2.0 install zip
- LUA 4.0 dll's

and if you are not using windows XP, you will also need the following:

- GDI+ dll's (from www.microsoft.com)

Step 2

make sure that you have closed Foobar2000

extract the foo_looks install zip into your foobar2000/components/ directory.

extract the LUA dlls into the foobar2000/ root directory

if you require GDI+, run the installer

(note: you may need to copy gdi.dll from System32/ into the foobar2000/ root directory)

Step 3

start Foobar2000, and watch the console for any error messages.

Step 4

hopefully, there are no errors.

go to the components menu in foobar2000, and select Look > Activate

Step 5

if you want to change 'looks', go to your foobar2000 preferences, and go to the preferences for +Components+Looks

here, you can set a primary & secondary skin for foo_looks

 

Done.

 

Adding more skins

...

always extract new skins to foobar2000/components/foo_looks/
