Is anyone else like me and how did you solve the problem?

What is your displays resolution & scaling set to? This looks like what happens when you have a high resolution as the skin unfortunately doesn't play nice with those. At the moment the best option is to mess with the High DPI settings under compatibility by right clicking on foobar.exe & selecting properties. I believe setting it to 'System (Enhanced)' will restore the scaling to what it should be, but most text & icons will be a little blurry.

At some point I plan to try and implement better scaling into the skin to support high resolution displays, but this unfortunately is a large undertaking that would require a great deal of work and time so it may be quite a while before this happens.

Hello, I also face the same issue. My display is 2880x1800. I tried "System (Enhanced)", but the overall UI becomes extremely flashy and is very annoying to use. I can't find a solution other than using another music player or dealing with an extremely small UI.

@LaeMat This I haven't seen before, it seems like its almost caught between the dark and light skin. If you try change the skin theme between those, does this still happen? Also, have you tried some of the other override modes and do they affect this?

I messed with the theming options, and it works much better by using the "Colors" menu for dark mode instead of "Panel layout".

Edit: Nope. Just started glitching out again. I have dark mode on. Seems related to that arrow that shows up on highlighting?

Could maybe be related to the graphics driver? What OS are you using and can you try updating the drivers

Like KorkitChj, I am on the latest version of Windows 11. I have two GPUs available (AMD Radeon 780M and an Nvidia RTX 4060 Mobile). With either graphics set, the issue occurs. Drivers are up to date.

Did this happen when the scaling wasnt set to 'System (enhanced)', and can you see if it happens as well under 'System' or 'Application'

This only happens under system enhanced, however text is noticably blurrier under System, and nothing changes under Application between having the setting on or off.

My screen resolution is 4K. I followed your suggestion, and the display is back to normal now. Thank you!

Tested it out myself and this occurs for me as well. This seems like its probably an issue with the Windows setting or whatever display library is being used. Regardless, this specific issue is probably rooted deeper than I feel I have the ability to resolve, though maybe this will change after taking a deeper look at it. Unfortunately, for now my recommendation would be to bear with the blurrier text until better scaling is implemented or use a smaller display resolution.
