Here's the original Modern Cards skin, including both the Dark Edition and the Regular version:

Also, as I said 7 or 8 posts above, here are two more skins that are worth checking out. Fusion X3 and MetroX:

There are also FusionX1, X2, and X4 all with slightly different font sizes and overall "wrappers". I thought X3 was the best of the bunch, but you might like one of the other 3 versions also.

I just tried MetroX and FusionX4. Neither have scaling support if you mean support for the View > Size menu. But that menu item doesn't work well with any skin I've tried (those that support it). It just changes the spacing between elements. Doesn't make things any more readable either direction, because the fonts stay a fixed size. I'm not even sure what the use case for it is. Perhaps I'm missing the point of it.
I don't know if either work well on Retina as my Mac is one of the last ones made without Retina. But I guess since they don't have "size" support, they don't have Retina Mode by definition.

Edit: I didn't notice what you said about not having scaling support, I guess that makes them less useful for a general distribution.

His latest Modern Card Dark Edition skin has scaling support. There just isn't a light version of the skin (yet). If there was, I'd redo these modded skins and support the scaling. Or, I guess, I can try modding the dark version into a light version. Hmmm.

By "scaling support", I mean that the skin's graphic elements are provided at a larger size (either 2x or 4x) and each element's scale factor is specified in the skin's main.xml file. It's mainly for support of Retina and other high-dpi displays. Skins that don't provide larger graphics are blown up on a high-dpi display and appear fuzzy to the eye.

Dihael said he'd be happy to see his work included in Media Center. He's willing to provide PSD files, so if we can find someone to create scaled up versions of the lighter skins we'd have them all.
