Metro skin

HI, i just installed Foobar and i can't get to Metro skin, i'd like it because it's praised.
In fact i do not find any skin to install, can you tell me where are they? Thanks in advance.

Were you somehow expecting foobar2000 to have pre-installed "skins"? Whatever you wish for foobar2000 to look like you either make it yourself or use a config that somebody else has already build. In that last case it's best to inquire the person who build it for more information about how to use and install that particular config.

Yap it seems It’s for FB2k 1.0 only this Metro skin. I don't need anymore any skin, I just need an interface for bookmarks. Column UI seems good and what I'm not sure and I don't know is whether I can save my bookmarks for every audio file apart.
I installed foo_bookmarks_0.3.6 and
I only found a single file bookmarks.dat which I think keeps them all <- C:\Users\dax\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\bookmarks
Any information regarding working with bookmarks is welcome, thanks.
The author of foo_bookmarks seems to have stopped its support.

I use foo_bookmarks and it works, though I'm using the Default UI not the Columns UI. To make the bookmarks visible I created a custom panel using View>Layout>Enable layout editing mode then created a new panel for the bookmarks which displays bookmarks in a list. Not sure if it's different for Columns UI.

For a new user I think it's easier getting one's head around foobar2000 by using the Default UI. I can remember being out of my depth the first number of times many, many years ago when I wanted to use a CUI skin but later an installation using the DUI made me realize how relatively simple it is to configure how I like.

If a bookmarked file is deleted, when it is restored the bookmarks for that file reveal?
What if you want to play the file elsewhere?

foo_uie_bookmarks features:
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,46612.0.html

 -> Bookmark via playlist contextmenu/keyboard shortcut/toolbar button
 -> Remove bookmark via contextmenu/Delete key
 -> Inline editable Comment column
 -> Time Capture: bookmark time is automatically updated on stop, user starting another, and on shutdown
 -> Autoremove: bookmark is automatically deleted when playback reaches end of track
 -> Autobookmark playing track on user starting another track in different/same playlist, and on shutdown
 -> Capture playlist content when bookmarking
 -> Field for global title formatting: %bookmarks%
 -> Instant Save: save bookmarks data file whenever listview data changes except when a column is clicked
 -> contextmenu Save: save bookmarks data file
 -> Track Playlist: bookmark can be set to track playback in a playlist. If the user starts another track on the same playlist or fb2k advances to the next track while a bookmark is playing, then the bookmark will be updated with the new track's location/subsong and keep its playing status. Autoremoving only happens if playback order is set to Default and when playback has reached the end of the last track in the playlist.

I do not understand: how it works:
 -> Inline editable Comment column

Got it: right mouse button, check Comment column, write the comment - just one line -> cool

It seems to be more difficult, as i already gave up and now am using nice black/dark background with Default UI.
