Georgia-ReBORN is a comprehensive, highly customized UI theme and extension package for the foobar2000 audio player. Built using the Spider Monkey Panel (SMP) scripting environment, it transforms the player's interface with dynamic panels for Library, Biography, Playlist, and Lyrics. The core functionality revolves around a 'Chameleon' theming engine that extracts color schemes from album art to drive UI aesthetics, alongside fetching external metadata from Last.fm, Wikipedia, and AllMusic to enrich the user experience. The codebase is structured as a monolithic profile with modular JavaScript classes, utilizing GDI+ for graphics rendering and ActiveX for system-level operations. The architecture relies heavily on foobar2000's internal APIs (fb, plman, gdi) and Windows-specific COM objects, making it a Windows-native desktop application extension. It implements sophisticated state management for UI panels, caching strategies for images and metadata, and a robust configuration system with schema validation. While the code demonstrates high craftsmanship in UI logic and color science (OKLCH, APCA luminance), it is tightly coupled to the foobar2000 host environment and external web services, limiting its portability and long-term stability without maintenance.
This repository is a Kodi skin (theme) called Arctic Fuse 2, providing a highly customizable user interface for the Kodi Media Center. It is explicitly deprecated by the author in favor of Arctic Fuse 3. The skin implements a modular widget and hub system driven by a generator that combines JSON configuration files with XML templates to produce dynamic includes. It integrates deeply with TMDbHelper for metadata, script.skinvariables for runtime XML generation, and script.texturemaker for dynamic textures. The skin supports movies, TV shows, music, PVR, games, weather, and extensive user customization through a visual shortcut editor, color picker, and settings panels. The architecture is a classic Kodi skin with extensive use of parameterized includes, conditional expressions, and animation templates. The codebase is large and well-structured for its domain, but it is tightly coupled to Kodi's skinning engine and several external addons, making it non-reusable outside Kodi.
