The best skins for Foobar 2000: Zoobar
The minimalist ‘Zoobar’ skin does away with special features and options. This means you can quickly play a song or even a playlist without having to click your way through a long series of menus.
- Thanks to the integrated album covers, Foobar 2000 also looks very smart.
- This skin only works at a resolution of 1920×1080 with the window maximised and the taskbar hidden; otherwise, you’ll see misaligned elements and other errors.
Foo Tunes for Apple fans
