Find skins that you like from http://customize.org/foobar
Here we use Foobar Se4sons, download it from http://customize.org/foobar/skins/62207
Click “next”.
Browse the location to choose the installation folder by click on the '...' button , click “next”.
Click “start”to begin installing.
When it is finished,exit this process.
Copy all the .ddl files from the Components folder of the skin to Foobar2000's PanelsUI folder .
Run Foobar2000 and choose PanelsUI,then click "ok".
Go to Menu>File> preferences>Display > PanelsUI (you can also extract other downloaded skin zip into this file to use them)and select the foo_Se4sons_Spring.pui file in the Layout dropdown box,click “close”.
Open Foobar2000 and look for the option to view the extension system. Foobar2000 has an extension system called components. These components come in the format of dll files.
Check out the components that are accessible and available for you to review.
Review and examine all of the components to determine which tools you would like to be displayed on your Foobar2000 player window.
Highlight and copy the desired components into the "Components" directory.
Restart Foobar2000.
Display
Change the appearance of your Foobar2000 by using the utility menus.
Go to "File" and then "Preferences" to view utility menus.
Check out the "Functions and capabilities" on the "Display" tab to view how the image is drawn on the panel.
Change the appearance and position of the album cover and select the size you want for the panel.
Add pads around the image and select the edge style.
Change the background color and add color to draw on empty portions of the panel.
Draw a thin outline around the image with the selected color.
Choose the "Behavior" tab to alter the functions in the panel and how images are displayed, faded or cycled.
