At its stock settings, Columns UI will look similar to this:

You can customise the main sections of the UI as follows.

By right clicking in the toolbar area, you can add and remove toolbars. Holding SHIFT whilst adding a toolbar will insert a new instance of it. Rightclicking in the band area of the toolbar may bring up additional actions for that toolbar (such as the spectrum analyser).

You can change the appearance of the playback buttons through the other configuration page.

You can change the colours used in the spectrum analyser from the context menu displayed when you right click on the spectrum analyser.

Similarly to the toolbars, right clicking on a caption allows you to add and remove panels. When adding a panel, holding SHIFT forces a new instance to be added, and CTRL cause the panel to be inserted at the point of right click.

You can change the colours used in this panel from the Playlist switcher configuration page.
