Georgia-ReBORN is feature rich foobar2000 theme developed and based on Mordred's original Georgia.
It's purpose is to be used mainly as a desktop version, the layout has been modified to look clean and simple
without any distractions. The cover artwork and playlist are the main focus. Besides the 11 existing themes
Georgia-ReBORN has to offer ( Options > Theme ) there is one special theme "Reborn". Based on Mordred's
awesome dynamic color change feature, this theme will completely change it's appearance based on album art,
this means there are unlimited possibilities how the player will look like. Every new album you play will be
a new experience! You can also create custom themes and share them with the community. For more information
go to Options > Theme > Custom > Edit custom theme and click on the Options > Info.
If you want to change the active theme's default look, you can activate different styles ( Options > Style ).
Each column in the context menu can have one activated style, this means you can combine styles altogether.
It should be noted that some active themes have more or less and also different styles available,
you can spend hours in experimenting and achieving some pretty cool results. There are also predefined
theme presets ( Options > Preset ) for each theme with a total of 88 different ones. For quick access,
try clicking on the lower bar to pick a random theme preset. A pretty cool feature is the preset harmonic
select mode ( Options > Preset > Select mode ) which will automatically adjust and pick a harmonic preset
based on current playing album art.
WilB's awesome library and biography script has been integrated and modified to fit the overall design.
You can choose the top menu > Options > Library to change various library options. Besides the 8 existing
built-in designs, the library has its own default Georgia-ReBORN design. The classical tree view can be changed
swiftly by right clicking for the context menu and choose "Show album art". You can switch back to the default
tree view by right click and choose "Tree view".
When album art is active, new options are now available in Options > Library > Album art.
The layout feature is not available for "List view + album covers/artist photos" and "Flow mode".
For convenience, when album art is active, you can easily change the layout by right clicking and choose:
Change layout to full width or Change layout to normal width depending on the current state.
Another cool feature is the dynamic thumbnail resizing, thumbnail size will change dynamically according
to the foobar player size.
If you want to display artist photos in the library, you need to link your path to your biography directory.
Go to File > Preferences > Display and under Album art click on the Artist tab. Here you need to set
your full path, e.g: E:\foobar2000\profile\cache\biography\biography-cache\art_img\$cut(%artist%,1)\%artist%\*
If you now fetch the images from the biography, it will automatically update your library with the photos.
You can easily switch the view from albums to artists. If album art or flow mode is active, right click
in the library > Show artists, to go back to default view open again the context menu and choose Show albums.
In the biography you can change options via top menu Options > Biography or you can use the context menu.
There are 4 different biography layouts to choose from, top is the default. There is also an automatic lyric fetcher.
Synced lyrics will be highlighted with a theme color, unsynced lyrics have the default white text color.
Georgia-ReBORN supports 4K resolutions and will adjust theme elements based on DPI and screen size.
Fullscreen mode is also supported! There are predefined sizes ( Options > Player size ) and each layout
has 3 different sizes. You can of course resize foobar to your liking, but it has minimum size restrictions
to prevent button and text overlapping. There are 3 different layouts to choose from ( Options > Layout ).
NOTE: Georgia-ReBORN starts in player size 'Small' as a failsafe player size for small res. monitor/laptop screens
and looks best if you switch to 'Normal' or a larger player size!
