Installation Instructions

Unlike most themes I don’t include an .fcl with mine. This makes getting setup slightly more work for you, but ensures that you can use it however you want. It works with both DUI and CUI, and all it really requires is a single Spider Monkey Panel version 1.4.1 or greater.

Table of contents

Step-by-step guide (please follow closely)

  1. Close foobar
  2. Download this theme from the releases page.
  3. Extract the theme into a folder named georgia to your foobar profile folder (if one exists). When extracting from a github release make sure you extract the contents of the autogenerated folder name (i.e. “Georgia-2.0.2”) but not the folder itself. It should look like this.
    • On a non-portable installation this will typically be C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000.
    • On a new portable install (i.e. a brand new foobar portable install 1.5 or later, not an upgrade) install to the profile folder inside the foobar root folder.
    • On a legacy portable install which does not have a profile folder, install in the foobar root.
  4. Open up the \georgia\fonts folder and install all fonts located there. If you miss this step things will look terrible. Note: If you are using Windows XP or Vista, also install the fonts from \georgia\fonts\windows-system-fonts otherwise skip these.

  5. (Optional Step) Download any of the image packs you like and place them in a folder called images in your foobar profile folder (NOT in the \georgia folder). See below for image pack download locations. image packs

  6. If you don’t have a version of foo_spider_monkey_panel 1.4 or greater installed already, grab the latest version here.
  7. (Optional Step) This theme also makes heavy use of the foo_enhanced_playcount component. I recommend installing that as well, otherwise the timeline will not be as interesting. You’ll probably also want foo_playcount if you don’t have that installed yet.
  8. Now add a Spider Monkey Panel to a new theme. If you’re using Columns UI I recommend the simplest possible layout with just a single FSM panel, but you can obviously get a little fancier if you want. Typically it will look best if the panel takes up the majority of foobar. Close foobar’s properties. If you’re having trouble on this step, see the video walkthrough below.
  9. Now right click on the Spider Monkey panel and select Configure. In the dialog that opens up select “File” under Script Source and then click the three dots and browse and select the georgia-theme.js file. It should look something like this. Hit OK and if you followed the instructions, the theme should have loaded working properly. If it didn’t, check the console for more information.
  10. If the theme loaded without errors, the last step is to verify that all optional items are installed correctly. Go to the Help => Georgia Theme Status submenu.

If everything is loaded correctly, that menu should look like this: theme status menu

If something is unchecked, either you chose not to install it, or it’s probably in the wrong location.

Image Packs

These packs will all need to be extracted to a folder called images which you will need to create in your foobar profile folder.

NOTE: for portable installs:
  • On a new portable install (i.e. a brand new foobar portable install 1.5 or later, not an upgrade) install to the profile folder inside the foobar root folder.
  • On a legacy portable install which does not have a profile folder, install in the foobar root.
