Setting up foobar the way you like it isn't the easiest thing to do, but spend the time and it's worth it. Enable the Columns UI if you haven't, and make playlists by artist in the left pane (at least, this is how I do it). You could conceivably write your own color scheme & feature placement scripts, but it'd be a pain, and there are plenty out there available for download. Google foobar mods and check hydrogenaudio.com's forums.
