Hello all.
I'm new to Foobar2000 really and despite attempts at really grasping the programming, I have yet to find a guide or at least a few scripts to use as an example that aren't severely outdated or near impossible to read. I have columns ui and its in its most basic of basic forms. I'd just like to get some "skins" or what have you to get the ball rolling. I'm very new to this but am willing to learn how to fiddle with it. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. I only hope this kind of thread is appropriate/in the right place.

try looking here : http://www.fooblog2000.com/
Most configs have a good info file that will guide you through the procedure.
Note that most configs use PanelsUI.

Great site for some skins but I'm at a miss in understanding where to put pui files and fonts and such. I understand enough to know that dll files go in components but other than that I am clueless as to how to apply the skin/theme....anything to my foobar.

Maybe some help: PUI wiki

PUI files must be put into the PanelsUI folder in the foobar install directory. The folder appears after selecting PanelsUI as the default user interface (if not, restart foobar).
Then open preferences of foobar and select 'Panels UI'. On the right you can choose a layout.

Bye
