Those skins require perfectly tagged files if you want to have really eye-candy things (but it was already the case with columns UI, and in the major configs, you have a single mode available).On a more ideological point of vue, this plugin has attracted newcomers, but those newcomers do not understand the main features of foobar2000 (Replaygain, masstagging, DSP, etc.).Already made skins require a lot of plugins and sometimes fonts.
It's normal but will annoy people using foobar2000 for its footprint. And when the window is visible, it consumes 2-5% of CPU resources (Pentium 2,8Ghz) and it could go up to 25-35% on start or when you bring the application to front. The amount of RAM used increases with problems of memory leak (24 Mo could go up to 60 Mo). Saying that foobar is lightweight is no longer exact truth with this plugin (the core is as lightweight as usual).Even modding an existing skin is time consuming. As a consequence, you are nearly doomed to use other's skins. Very hard to create your own skin, the increased complexity makes it (as usual) really harder than for columns UI scripting.Some panels are now useless (albumart, lyrics panels, track info).Ability to create a mini player mode available in one click.Ability to create a setup panel to make skins more customizeable.Playlist filter to enhance the management of the media library.Possibility to do a wide range of actions via buttons inbtegrated to the skin.Possibility to create really eye candy "skins.Possibility to display an image for everything instead of standard buttons or objects.This new plugin is a little revolution into the foobar2000 world, with supporters and opponents.
