Basically I want a nice Vista-style (a nice Aero style maybe) for foobar2000.

I like my general layout at the moment (see screenshot) but the actual interface isn't the nicest. Are there any out there with a similar layout, but nicer GUI?

Have you considered the CD Art Display app that works with Foobar? You run foobar as normal and it launches this other small app. I then have it so that I minimise foobar to the notification area. This just leaves the CD Art Display running. It shows the album cover, artists and song title. All in a very small space on your screen.... kind of like toast for Winamp. Looks cool, and you can set it to always be on top.

Here it is running on an old desktop screenshot I took:-

As you can see foobar is down the bottom right. It's a pretty neat application.

That looks really nice, I'll have to give that one a go.

Although that means it'll force me to be bothered to sort my album art out :p

[Edit]
What foobar version are you running? It's not working on 0.9.5.3 for me :(

Managed to get CD Art Display working by using the installer instead of the foobar plugin itself. I was thinking it was purely a foobar plugin but it's a whole program that can be used with multiple media players.

Not too sure about it really, even though I have a 24" screen it'd get hidden a lot so would be fairly pointless.
