Skins for strawberry
-
Hello,
I am new to the forum so first of all thanks to all the contributors for making strawberry I really like it
I wanted to ask you: is there a way to change the appearance of strawberry (skins)? I would like to make my strawberry app more minimalistic. I am not a big fan of the left blue panel with images of strawberries.
I am using the apt version of strawberry 1.2.7 on ubuntu 24.04
Thank you!

Hello. The look of the left blue sidebar can be changed by right clicking on any of its tabs. Try Plain sidebar.

@TakeFive Hi, wow thanks! Plain sidebar and the other options look super pretty

@TakeFive Ooh, I didn't know about this feature! I like the options, but none are my ideal. Vertical text is kinda anoying, and removing the text makes playlists and smart playlists look identical. I'm really digging strawberry, but the more customizable interface of foobar2000 and similar players is one of my more missed features.

Personally I'm not confused by the identical icons of the playlists tabs because their order is fixed, but it would also be nice that the Smart playlists tab had its own icon.
You could file an issue in the github repository. Complex look&feel changes are not at the top of the list of the devels, but the replacement of an icon might make its way at some point.
Edit, clarification: I am used to a "fixed" order (I should have said a "years old" one) of the sidebar tabs where the identical icons are not a problem. But the order of the tabs is not static; it's customizable by dragging them, and I see how in that case, while rearranging the tabs layout, having differentiated icons would prevent a bit of confusion.

@MrDowntempo Personally what I like about strawberry is that it just works. Foobar is too much work to setup for a casual user to make it look good and make it functional!
