foobar is awesome, but missing 2 things

I love foobar, of course because of the soundquality, but also because of the minimalistic gui. But there's really 2 things missing to it: a volume slider and a seek slider. Wouldn't it be nice if foobar looked like this?? Give me oppinions: do i have a point or am i a fool?    (ohw i used graphics of the uftS plugin, i hope that's ok)

Seek slider is in status bar, controlled via arrow keys. Volume is in same place, control by +/-

Seek bar: Components -> Jump to time
Volume slider: Config -> Playback -> Attenuation

To Garf: damn, sorry, i should learn to read. I didn't know about those keyboard shortcuts. Foobar is even better than i thought.

To anza: yes i knew about that, but i was looking for a quick solution.

Sorry guys, i realize my idea was kinda foolish. Next time i'll read the documentation a little better...

"... i was looking for a quick solution..."

1) click 2 times on volume in task bar:
this open playback windows and you find volume slider

2) you can add  MUTE to shortcuts (preferences-keyboard shortcuts)
for exemple if mute is " * " you have your quick solution:

volume + =    +
volume -  =    -
toggle mute = *
Music is my first love.

I know all this now, but i didn't know about the keyboard shortcuts before i posted the message above, my mistake... Anyway, foobar rocks now, and really the keyboard shortcuts rule! I even ditched the uftS plugin, no need for that thing with the keyboard shortcuts.
Anyway i have learned a lot about foobar since my first post, i've been playing with replaygain, playlist/status bar code, keyboard shortcuts,... this thing is just amazing, you can customize everything.

WOW! I learned something, I had NO idea that I could seek with the arrow keys!  Simply AWESOME!

under the foobar directory, such as "c:\program files\foobar2000\"

make a directory called "foo_utfS"

in that directory put the optional graphics.

it will all work

LOL, at the first moment I thought you wanted to make a joke about him, since I couldn't think of a player which doesn't use the arrow keys to scroll the song. But then I tried to do this with Windows Media Player 9, and this player really can't do this - amazing

BTW: For those, who don't know yet, if you hold Ctrl while seeking with the arrow keys it seeks 1 min. instead of 10 secs, THIS is really amazing I think
