-
The behaviour of Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+A was made consistent across edit controls that are part of Columns UI itself. [#735, #740]
-
A built-in icon for the stop after current command was added to the Buttons toolbar. [#757, #762]
-
When title formatting is used in the playlist switcher panel, typing in the panel now always searches by the actual playlist name and not the displayed title. [#738]
-

-
Various built-in pop-up foobar2000 windows (e.g. Album List, Search, Playlist Manager) now use Columns UI colours and fonts when Columns UI is active. [#574, #579, #590]
This requires foobar2000 2.0 or newer.
For colours, only the text, background and selection background colours can be explicitly configured. The equivalent of the Default UI highlight colour currently isn’t configurable.
For fonts, the default, list items and console fonts can be individually configured.
These changes also apply to any third-party components that use new colour and font APIs added in foobar2000 2.0
-

-
An audio track toolbar was added. When a file containing multiple audio tracks (e.g. different languages) is playing, this toolbar allows you to select between those tracks. [#573]
It requires foobar2000 2.0 or newer and is equivalent to the ‘Stream Selector’ toolbar in the Default User Interface.
-

-
Support for the Windows 10 and 11 dark mode was added on Windows 10 version 2004 and newer. [multiple pull requests]
This can be enabled from the Mode tab on the Colours and fonts preferences page.
Light and dark modes have independent colour settings. However, any custom colours that are currently active will be copied to dark mode settings on upgrade.
The default value for a custom colour can be reselected by clicking on the Change... button for that colour, and selecting the first colour from the 'Custom colours:' section of the colour picker dialogue box.
Dark menus aren’t enabled on Windows 11 builds newer than 22598. This is to avoid unexpected problems on untested builds, because the Windows APIs to enable dark menus aren’t public.
Third-party panels that contain system UI elements like scroll bars will need updating to fully support dark mode.
The previous mode setting on the Colours tab of Colours and fonts preferences has been renamed scheme to disambiguate it from the new mode setting.
-
The shading of alternate rows in the playlist view was disabled by default in new installations. [#522]
It can still be enabled (in new installations) by uncommenting the second line in the default global style script.

-
A 'Reload artwork' command was added to the artwork view context menu. This forces a reload of artwork from source using current settings. [#351, #382]
-
The list view scrolling speed when selecting items or using drag and drop was adjusted to be slower, particularly for short lists such as in Buttons options. [#349]
-
The Item properties and Item details panels now expand and align tab characters. [#350]
-
When multiple tracks are selected and some of them have a value for a particular metadata field and some do not, the Item properties panel now makes this clearer by appending '(not set)' to the list of values for that field. [#370]
-
The Item properties panel now shows '(blank)' for a metadata field if it’s set but the value is an empty string. [#370]
-
The Filter panel no longer focuses the first playlist item when using any of the send to playlist commands or actions. This improves compatibility with shuffle playback modes when 'Playback follows cursor' is enabled. [#352]
-
In the playlist view, group titles now respect the 'Display ellipses in truncated text' option.
-
A bug causing misbehaviour of colour codes or a possible crash after scrolling in the Item details panel was fixed. [#372]
-
A problem in the Buttons toolbar preventing buttons for certain File operations context menu commands from working was fixed. [#379]

-
A problem where panels were queried for configuration data too frequently following #320 was resolved. [#364]
-
A problem where GDI+ was used to load stub artwork images in the Artwork view panel instead of the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) was fixed [#371].
(See the change log for version 1.4.0-beta.1 for more details on what this means.)

SSE2 instructions are now enabled (and hence are now required). [#329]
-
Items details now tries to preserve the scroll position when adjusting settings. [#335]
-
The positioning of lines in Item details when a font change was immediately followed by a colour change was corrected. [#338]
Additionally, font changes that don’t affect any text (e.g. due to being immediately followed by another font change) now correctly affect the height of the line.
-
A bug was fixed where it sometimes wasn't possible to scroll to the very bottom of Items details when both horizontal and vertical scroll bars were visible. [#335]
-
Miscalculated bottom padding in the background of some dialogues at high DPIs was fixed. [#334]
- The component is now compiled using foobar2000 SDK 2020-07-28. [#329]
-
Filter search now allows the use of time-based expressions. [#300]
Note that these currently don’t update continuously when results change due to e.g. the system time advancing.
-
Custom Album list panel active item frame colours are now included in exported FCL files. [#316]
-
A crash or other unexpected behaviour when certain emojis were displayed in the Item details panel was fixed. [#323, #324]

The artwork source settings in Columns UI were removed and now only the settings on the main Display preferences page are used.
If Columns UI artwork source settings were in use, you will be prompted to transfer your settings on upgrade. [#286]
-
The playlist view ‘Low artwork reader thread priority’ setting was removed; a low thread priority is now always used. [#270]
-
The ability to display tooltips for non-truncated text in the playlist view was removed. [#272]
-
The Windows Imaging Component is now used to load button images, and artwork in the artwork panel and playlist view.
On recent versions of Windows 10, this adds support for WebP and HEIF images if the required codecs are installed. These are usually installed automatically, but can also be manually installed from the Microsoft Store:
On older versions of Windows and on Wine, the Google WebP codec can be installed for WebP support.
Note: Currently, when configuring artwork sources in Display preferences, the .webp or .heif file extension must be explicitly specified for WebP or HEIF files to be loaded. (Using
.*for the file extension will not load WebP or HEIF files.) [#276]
- There were no changes from version 1.3.0-rc.1.
-
When using in-line field editing in the playlist view, empty field values are no longer written to the file when saving changes. (If no field values are entered, the field is now removed from the file.) [#266]

-
Fixed clipped 'Selected item:' text on the Colours tab in the Colours and Fonts preferences page.
-

-
Compiled with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
-
A duplicate preset button has been added to the layout configuration page. [#14]
-
When the main window is deactivated with the menu bar focused, the focus is now restored to the window that had the keyboard focus before the menu bar did when the main window is reactivated. (Previously, the focus was incorrectly returned to the menu bar.) [#18]
-
The minimum width of toolbars without an explicit minimum width has been reduced to be the same as the minimum height (21 pixels at 100% DPI).
-
Improved preferences behaviour when importing FCL files and switching between pages; previously preferences may have shown old values after importing an FCL file. [#23]
-
Panel sizes are now DPI-aware in the standard splitters, and non-auto-size columns. In particular, this affects the quick setup presets, FCL files, and layouts after the system DPI setting has been changed. [#22] [#21]
-
Added an option to control whether locked panels can be manually resized in the standard splitters. [#24]

-
Corrected truncated 'Size weight' label in Columns tab in Playlist View preferences page at some DPI settings.
-
Corrected some misbehaviours of the 'active item frame' option in the Colours and Fonts preferences page.
-
Compiled with Visual Studio 2015 Update 2.
Improved spectrum analyser display by using foobar2000's 'New FFT [behaviour] for spectrum-generating methods' and adjusting x- and y-axis logarithmic scales.
Using a linear y-axis is no longer particularly useful and it's recommended that anyone that was using a linear y-axis switches to a logarithmic y-axis.
All standard panels now implement drag images, labels and drop descriptions when a drag and drop operation is started from them. Currently, the drag image is the default image provided by the shell, but this may include artwork in the future. [#11]
You can no longer drop files on panels in the layout area that do not implement drop handlers (e.g. Console panel and Album list panel).
The default action when dragging files to Windows Explorer is now always copy. Previously, when dragging files to another folder on the same drive, the default operation would be to move the files.
When dragging files to the playlist switcher or playlist tabs, you can now force a new playlist to be created by holding down Alt.
When a new playlist is created by dropping files on the playlist tabs, it will be created where the files were dropped when possible.
When reordering playlists in the playlist switcher, the insertion point is now below the item under the pointer when over the bottom half of that item.
Fixed a bug where dragging unsupported objects over some panels would cause the drag image to get stuck on the edge of the panel.
Fixed a bug where dragging a file from Windows Explorer to foobar2000 near the right-edge of the screen would cause the drop description label to jump about.
If a drag-and-drop operation is started from a auto-hide panel, or a panel in an auto-hide splitter, it no longer immediately hides itself. In particular, this allows things like reordering playlists in an auto-hide playlist switcher.
Resizing a hidden auto-hide panel would sometimes cause it to get stuck open. This has been fixed. [#8]
[#10]
The setting is on the Layout preferences page.
The default values of the following are now DPI-aware:
- Splitter divider width
- Columns/NG playlist vertical item padding
- Playlist switcher vertical item padding
- Filter panel vertical item padding
- NG playlist artwork column width
Additionally, when transferring those settings to another PC via FCL files, or when changing the system DPI, the values will automatically be scaled appropriately.
Similar changes will be made for other settings in an upcoming version.
- If you sort by a column in NG Playlist, this can now be undone using the Undo command.
- Fixed various truncated text labels in various dialogs on certain DPI settings.
- Corrected the behaviour of the up and down buttons for the auto-hide show and hide delay settings in preferences.
- Added a workaround for an OS bug that could cause the main menu to be incorrectly activated when foobar2000 was alt-tabbed out of and a global keyboard shortcut using Ctrl+Alt was used to activate the foobar2000 window.
- When the main menu is focused (by pressing Alt or F10), F10 can now correctly be used to deactivate the menu.
- Fixed a bug where if foobar2000 was minimised to a notification icon, and you then hid the notification icon in preferences, you would be left with no notification icon and no visible window.
