About this project
Georgia-ReBORN is a feature-rich theme for the foobar2000 desktop music player, developed from Mordred's original Georgia theme. Its stated purpose is a clean, distraction-free desktop layout where cover artwork and the playlist are the main focus.
Appearance and theming
- Ships with 12 themes plus additional styles; styles can be combined per column via the context menu.
- The special "Reborn" theme derives its colors from the currently playing album art, so the player's look changes with each album.
- 88 predefined theme presets, including a harmonic select mode that picks a preset based on the current album art.
- Users can create up to 10 custom themes and share them; custom theme fonts are supported.
- Automatic day and night mode, three seekbars with styles, and 13 disc art placeholders.
Layout and display
- Three layouts: Default, Artwork and Compact, each fully configurable, with normal or full-width panel layouts.
- Predefined player sizes for 4K, QHD and HD, with automatic resolution detection and DPI/screen-size scaling; fullscreen is supported. Minimum size limits prevent button and text overlap.
- The theme starts in 'Small' player size as a failsafe for small screens.
Library, biography and lyrics
- Integrates a modified version of WilB's library and biography script, with 8 built-in designs plus a default Georgia-ReBORN design.
- Library supports tree view and album art view, switching between albums and artists, and dynamic thumbnail resizing with player size.
- Biography offers 4 layouts; an automatic lyric fetcher highlights synced lyrics in a theme color while unsynced lyrics use default white text.
- Artist photos require linking a biography cache path in foobar2000 preferences.
Optional extras
- Optional image packs provide artist logos and record labels shown in 'Details'; disc art can be fetched from fanart.tv or replaced with placeholders.
- Template resources are published for making custom disc art and graphics.
Installation
- Install foobar2000 as portable, extract the profile folder from the zip into foobar's root folder, install the bundled fonts, then start foobar.
- A standard (non-portable) installation path is also documented, extracting profile contents into the AppData\Roaming\foobar2000 folder.
- As of 2 September 2025 the project is transitioning to focus on 64-bit foobar2000; releases on the Releases page are compatible only with 32-bit, while the latest x64 build is available from the master branch.
Support and contribution
- Support is handled through GitHub Discussions and a HydrogenAudio thread; bugs can be reported via a dedicated discussion thread.
- The project welcomes help from developers with JavaScript knowledge to optimize the theme, and credits numerous upstream components and contributors.
