Description

BEFORE INSTALLING, check requirements below

*Cleaning previous HiFoo Installation
  • If you want to update an existing HiFoo config, you MUST delete the previous .../skins/HiFoo folder before extracting the new .Zip file, otherwize, it could generate some WSH crash later!

*Required Fonts
*Required dependencies
  • foo_wave_seekbar component requires
    • Ms Visual C++ 2010 SP1 32 bits version even on x64 systems > [link]
    • and for Direct3D rendering of the wave seekbar, DirectX Runtimes 9 (not installed on Seven by default) > [link]

*Installation Notes
  • Install Foobar if not already done (Normal or Portable installation, as you prefer)

    • If Normal install done, extract the .zip file into your foobar2000 user profile folder, on Seven it's C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\

    • If Portable install done, extract the .zip file into your foobar2000 program folder, for example C:\My Programs\foobar2000\

  • Step ONLY for Windows XP users: Download this extra .zip file HiFoo_Add-On_for_XP.zip: [link]

  • Step ONLY for Windows XP users: Extract the extra .zip file HiFoo_Add-On_for_XP.zip to the same foobar2000 folder as above, it will overwrite some WSH Panel Mod files and so will allow HiFoo to run with XP

  • Run foobar2000

  • When prompted, select as default interface "ColumnsUI" then OK

  • Now HiFoo layout is visible, first your have to configure your media library : click the icon button before the playlist "Library" or use the main menu entry "Library>Configure"

  • Once media library configured (wait a little bit for foobar2000 monitor your media library folder), you may need to restart foobar2000 if the playlist "Library" is not populated

  • Installation is now over, you may have to set some other useful features, like "Cursor follows Playback" (menu "Playback") ...

  • It's that easy
