Is there a plugin for foobar2000 that displays the time elapsed in big digital numbers, kind of like winamp?

You can find a digital style font and use the "Track Display" panel bundled with Panels_UI

I believe track display panel can give you the ability to display any stat you like. since you asked, this is the titleformat you will need
%playback_time% (returns the elapsed time formatted as [HH:]MM:SS
%playback_time_seconds% (returns elapsed time in seconds)
or
%playback_time_remaining% (returns the remaining time until track ends)
and of course
%length%
Use any of these to achieve the desired display. For additional fixing, use the font command, by typing $font(name of font,size in pixels,options like bold italics,SYSCOL-10)
if you want specific colors, use
$rgb(##,##,##)
hope this helps. if I made any mistakes, someone correct me.

So I am currently using Column UI, and I made it look semi-decent after a really long time of tweaking and learning about the codes. I have no idea how to use Panel UI, is there a guide to make it semi look like the default Columns UI. I followed this guide
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.p...t=foobar+prettyI just basically want the "track display" and show the time, track name, artist, and maybe other into like it does on Winamp. It seems very complicated and a lot of reading to be able to set this up and memorize codes =(.

it is, sadly.
were the instructions I gave earlier not helpful?
you have to put a 'track display' panel is your layout first, using the preferences < columnsUI tab and then once your panel is in, the player should show a default with the name of the track and artist. Right click that and go to settings and it should show a pop up dialogue box with code in it. Just ammend where they have put in fonts and colors where you see blue %artist% or %title% tags.
unfortunately there is no real easy way to help you because this requires going in and making changes. However there are plenty of customized and available layouts that you can impliment just following their instructions in the readme. I would go have a look at the distributed layouts (they are in panelsUI though, but it wouldnt change anything for you).
