Mac vs. Windows

The Mac version of MC has been solid for a while... it started out rocky but functional, but for the last handful of builds (maybe longer) I've found that it performs exactly how I expect it to (almost) every time.
It's also getting harder to see that it's a port from the Windows version - which is important to a lot of users. (I use the Modern Cards grey or white skins...)

Mac version might be solid and functional, but GUI of the Windows version looks WAY nicer! How many times do you hear someone comparing MacOS and Windows, and say Windows GUI looks better?! :(
Amarra 4's GUI looks so much better! A really conflict here... MC with Amarra like GUI would be a winner for me.
I wonder if JRiver folks have any intention of improving the Mac GUI. Especially since the Windows GUI does look good. Any insider can comment on that?
JimH:
Have you tried other skins?
There are many things you can do to change the appearance. Some are under the View menu.

Try the Modern Cards Grey Edition skin. It's purposely the "Mac-esk" skin for Media Center.
JimH:
Maciest?
Awesome Donkey:
Sure, it kinda reminds me of Kraft Mac & Cheese for some reason. :P
Anyways, on topic... Modern Cards Grey Edition is likely currently the 'closest' you can get to a "native" looking Mac skin for MC. Of course, there's no dark mode skin (unless you use the Modern Cards Dark Edition skin, but it won't look like "native" Mac dark mode) as I've had no time to look into seeing if one could be created. Also if you change the Mac setting for the stoplight (close/minimize/restore/maximize) buttons to the alternate colors, MC will still use the default ones. Haven't had time to attempt ripping those out from the OS yet either.
