Why not a truly Windows 10 Skin on MC 24?

I agree with that.

but not that.  We've not said that. 

Design is personal, not universal.

For years there have been questions about updating the looks of MC and the only answer is, you can make your own skin. Every year we're asked to put money on the table for minor upgrades. The least you can do is give us some good looking modern skins instead of leaving it to others.

You've replied to someone who doesn't work at JRiver.  I think your comment is also unfair.  You have a lot of choices.  There are a number of skins available with the program and on the Third Party board.  You may not like them, but we can't develop a new one just to suit any single user.

You might also explore the View menu to see what else is available. 

You can simplify the GUI here:

I would love to make everyone happy, but I'm afraid it isn't possible.

I can see everyone's view here, but you HAVE to admit the UI is dated - it hasn't changed at all for years.  I know design is subjective, but if you encourage everyone to use Modern Cards skin, then why not bake it into the program as default? 

On a modern 24" screen or bigger, there are acres of nothing - I know I can customise the UI to some extent, but the user shouldn't have to do that I don't think.

I encourage people to use the skin they like.  It's easy to try them.  View Menu > Skins.

The Modern Cards skin is included in MC by default, its just not the default skin choice. We only encourage people to try it if they are unhappy with the default look, and it only takes a few clicks to do that straight from within MC, no additional install required or anything.

If we were to change the default skin, I assure you there would at least be the same number people asking what happened and how they change back. :)
