I came across this excellent thread
[Foobar] Foo AvA by dawxxx666 - Neowin Forums
dawxxx666 has done this excellent user interface for foobar.
Its been a long time i had customized foobar and so i was not able to successfully apply his creation to my foobar.
So as i found out a exact method i am posting a guide here on how to apply
this excellent interface to ur foobar.
This is guide is written by me after finding how to appropriately apply this
as those who are new to foobar might find it difficult what to do.
NOTE: All Credits to dawxxx666 for this excellent work.

Firstly uninstall ur current foobar.
Download the latest version i.e. 0.9.4.3

Components needed:

Optional:

Right click the rar and extract to a folder "X".
X= any folder[but dont extract to the foobar folder]
then you will get a file "Foo_AvA_1.03_by_dawxxx666_24.06.2007" with a
foobar icon , which is a self extracting archive now dont extract it to the
foobar folder instead extract this to any folder and this will be the files in that
folder.
Install all the fonts from the Foobar_Fonts.exe which is a self extracting archive.
Let this folder be called "X"
3.> Create a folder named "PanelsUI" in foobar's directory
Like this C:\Program Files\foobar2000\PanelsUI
Copy images folder , DAWXXX666_AVA_preferences.dx6 , DAWXXX666_AVA_1.03 from folder "X" to the C:\Program Files\foobar2000\PanelsUI path.
Now the most important part.
4.> Now start foobar and select panels ui
Now at this stage click "Ctrl + P" and you will get this screen.
