- mahouse 12y agoBut it doesn't whip the llama's ass.
- Already__Taken 12y agoThe ui is stuck in 2001 though and it still doesn't have the ability to play/pause/skip from the aero tile.
- morb 12y agoFor me, the no-BS standard looking UI was the reason to choose Foobar, as compared to Win Media Player or Winamp and other weird looking ones. (Remember Sonique? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonique_%28media_player%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonique_%28media_player%29) As for aero tiles... That's a Win8 thing? I guess it's a valid complaint. I think you can set global keyboard shortcuts for those actions, if that helps.
- Already__Taken 12y agoAero is a vista+ thing. Hover over a playing vlc in the taskbar and you see skip/pause/play. Foobar is classic to the cost of UX. We've figured out for a long time now bigger buttons are important, there's no need for separate pause/play especially if stop is right there. It doesn't need a slew of crappy gradients and fancy shit, Just drag the interface forward a decade that's all. Usable with a touch screen should be a minimum now.
