DarkOne Equalizer [Default UI add!]

Description

28/05/2013 edit: I added a new skin for everyone that do like the plain style of foobar2000 Default UI.
See the preview for a first look!

Update!
I changed a little the style of the buttons in the default skin, see the preview central image.
More DarkOne-ish now :D

What it is? :
A Fnequalizer skin, made by me to match with the DarkOne foobar2000 style.
Fnequalizer is a free Parametric Equalizer VST plug-in.
Just an add-on to the beautiful foobar2000 skin by this great artist: [link]

Requirements :
-foobar2000 music player.
-VST 2.4 adapter, known as foo_vst.
-Fnequalizer VST plug-in.

Step by step installation, assuming you already have foobar2000 and DarkOne skin [optional but recommended] installed:
1) Download the VST adapter component here: [link] and install it in foobar2000:
[Foobar2000->Menu->File->Preferences->Components->Install...->choose the foo_vst.zip file->OK->OK]

2) Unzip the DARKONEfnEQUALIZER.zip in the folder* you chose for your VST Plugins.
*No need for a special folder, but i usually create a "vst-plugin" folder inside my foobar2000 main folder,
so it's easy to remember where you store your plugins.

3) Install the plugin:
[Foobar2000->Menu->File->Preferences->Components->Vst-Plugins->Add...->
browse to the folder where you unzipped the plugin and choose the file Fnequalizer.dll->OK->OK]

4) Add the plugin to DSP Manager:
[Foobar2000->Menu->File->Preferences->Playback->DSP Manager->
Double click on Fnequalizer from the Available DSPs box [right] to add it in the Active DSPs box [left].->OK.]

5) Foobar2000->Menu->View->DSP->Fnequalizer.

Enjoy!!

Tips:
-In OPTIONS->Skin you can choose the same skin but with a different style of indicators, a touch of colour!!
-If you want you can rename the skin to whatever you want, just remember to edit the folder's name [it's "Red" by default]
AND the relative entry in the Fnequalizer.ini file.
Just open it with a simple text editor and change the second line [Red] with the name you assigned to the skin folder too.
-When using the plugin you can have some useful info about the features going into OPTIONS->About.

Hi Mark, Great work on matching the look of the EQ with the skin.  That said, I am trying to install your EQ UI and having a problem.  I think I've followed your install instructions but the Fnequalizer does not appear in the available DSPs box on the right to complete the installation.

My install:  
1) Unzip foo_vst to "VST_plugin" folder I created in the root of "Foobar2000" located in Programs (X86) folder of my Win7 install
2) Unzip DARKONEfnEQUALIZER.zip in the same "VST_plugin" folder in root of Foobar2000 located in Programs (X86) and placed zip file there as well.
3) In Foobar2000, install VST component <<-------- At this step the dll file is not identified as as appropriate file (i.e not visible in dialogue box).  However, the zip file is visible and when selected the "VST 2.4 adapter" appears as a installed component in this window.
4) Navigate to Playback > DSP Manager, but Fnequalizer is not found in the "Available DSPs" box on the right

What went wrong?

I've re-started both Foobar and my computer but still the DSP is not found in the "Available DSPs" box.  Just for fun, after performing the above, I also copied the skin folder to the AppData / Foobar2000 folder but no joy there either.

Any help you could share would be much appreciated.
