Looking to simply change more colors on foobar

Every plugin I've found has drastically changed the way foobar functions. To be frank, I love my vanilla foobar experience. I've got my playlists, my library exactly where I want them. My info displayed the way I like.

The only thing I don't like is the brightness of foobar.

So every "skin" I find isn't so much a skin, as it is an entirely new layout to the player, changing a lot of the functionality.

Truth is, I very much want to keep the layout the same, just make it dark. I've added an image of something shoddily thrown together that looks somewhat like what I want.

A friend of mine suggested redoing my entire layout in the columns UI, but even the drag and drop functions seem to be lost in it, and a lot of the work I put into this layout isn't working either.

Maybe I'm missing it, but is there any resource out there I can use to achieve just color changes of the default foobar UI?

Any help will be appreciated.

You can use a dark windows theme as those elements pull the color scheme from your OS. Otherwise you are most likely out of options.

Just as a first point, http://www.deviantart.com/customization/sk...ws/visualstyle/ has many themes for Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (all mutually incompatible) in various qualities. Installation is a bit tricky at first, but if you stick to new themes, everything should just work fine.
