Thanks for the thought: not for me though.

Not really. I tried out foobar that way, but you'd probably be better off using a premade skin or theme made by someone else first. There are many such skins out there. Here's an example :
DarkOne v3.0.1 by ~tedgo on deviantART
.. But eventually, to get the most out of foobar, you should get into some scripting. That's how you really get the most out of the program. It's very simple and doesn't take long to learn, at least not if you've done a little bit of scripting before, but I can understand that some think it's too much work.
edit :
An example of scripting can be like this .. You have a list of songs with columns for artist and albums and track titles and so on. You want to add another column that shows the disc number. You go into the preferences and add a column (no scripting needed to do that) and then write a little script determining what info the column should show. You write something like :
[Disc %discnumber%]
The brackets means the script will only trigger if the id3 tag %discnumber% exists. If triggered, the script will output the word "Disc" followed by the value of the discnumber tag, f.ex "Disc 3".
Most of the scripting I do by far is for little things like that.
