CUSTOMIZATION

 

Most customizations are available through the Settings page and will be applied to various elements of the theme.

 

I.          GENERAL

 

• ACCENT COLOR 

You can add your unique accent color with a 9-digit RGB color mode. Visit a color reference website to get your favorite color in RGB code.

To change the accent color:

1. Open "Preferences" window
2. Go to "Tools", then the "Extended Variable" menu on the left side
3. Click on the "Accent Color" entry then click the "Edit" button
4. Input your RGB code as the value then click "OK"
5. Restart foobar2000

The accent color is applied globally, and you get the same color for both the Light and Dark modes.

 

• COLOR MODE
  

Quickly switch between a Light mode and a Dark mode layout.

 

PS: The theme won't automatically sync to the color mode of Windows.
