Feature request: How hard would it be to add a dark mode to Foobar?
1- Yes, I know Foobar follows the Windows 10 theme. But to make all the frames and scroll bars black you need to enable high contrast settings which look hideous.
2- Yes, I know it would be too much to ask for DUI to support skins. Which is why I'm not asking for that. I just want to be able to make the features which already exist in fb2k dark.
3- No, I don't want to switch over to columns UI because: 1- I'm not a programming genius 2- I can't live without simplaylist and facets.
4- 'foobar is about functionality not about looks': Google 'communist architecture' to see what that philosophy leads to.
5- 'nobody wants that!': Yes, I actually heard people say this in one thread! There's an entire community dedicated to skinning foobar, yet I'm supposed to believe that nobody wants more colour customization options in DUI?
If you need me to sell you on this idea. Let me say the following: Clearly other jukebox software programs like musicbee, roon, itunes etc. are inferior to fb2k in pretty much every conceivable way......except for visually. And I believe that is the main reason why people use those programs instead of fb2k. Now, because foobar is free software there's not really a financial argument to be made here, but I assume that the devs would like their program to be as popular as possible.
The default white/grey colors of the columns are pretty much impossible to match up with any darker panel colors as the contrast is simply too high. Which means the DUI is pretty much restricted to light colors which is a major impediment to customization options. There's a reason why the overwhelming majority of CUI skins have dark(er) themes.
It seems slightly bizarre to me that you're able to customize every little irrelevant detail in foobar even down to the button images and their functions. Yet nothing can be done about the ultra white columns and scroll bars which seem like relics from windows 64.

I run foobar in a VM on Linux (Mint and Ubuntu) in one of four workspaces. What I would like to have is a way to get a notification whenever a song starts in whatever workspace I'm in. I'm sure there are several ways this might be done, i.e.: a combination of foobar plugin that would write a file that Linux would be watching for changes.
