I've downloaded and installed foo_uie_lyrics.dll plugin. This was successful: I can change settings. I placed lyrics in LYRIC tag and modified settings accordingly. But the plugin does nothing. Nothing shows up. There is no button to activate. No message pops up.

There is no help file, I'm stuck and don't know what to do.

you need to be using Columns UI & add the Lyrics panel via the Columns UI Layout options

There is no such thing as "panel" in foobar, at least I can't find it.

are you using Columms UI? http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_ui_columns

if not, install to your components directory & enable it on restart, then go to "Preferences/Display/Columns UI" & then to the "Layout" tab. from there you can add panels to the UI

Yes, I am using Columns UI. And once again: what exactly are "panels"? How can I add them?

How about reading through the documentation and tell us again how there is no such thing as a panel?

From the documentation

Panels

Panels make up the main part of the interface.

Information about the built-in panels in provided below:

Playlist Switcher
Playlist view
Filter
Artwork view


You can find quite a bit of information here.

Panels are basicly sections of Foobars UI, for example the playlist section can be classed as a panel aswell as the album art reader etc.

The majority of downloadable UI extras are panels (eg. Biography view, Lyrics), they can be added under the Layout editor under "Preferences/Display/Columns UI" & then the "Layout" tab.

Under the Layout editor add a splitter by right clicking on the Base (think its normally "Horizontal Splitter" if i recall) & in the right click menu "Insert Panel/Splitters/(which ever splitter you desire)"
Once thats done, right click the newly inserted Splitter "Insert Panel/Panels/Lyrics", these are only the basics, really am scraping the surface but that is how to add "Panels"

EDIT: glad you solved it, as tpijag said, a read of the wiki maybe helpfull to you
