Automatic link for "Skin" change to a time schedule, i.e. Day-Night. I am looking for a way to automatically change "Skin" on a MAC, in particular one with a day and night mode, similarly as for desktop in Macos which I have set to automatically and that changes a lot of programs on the MAC, but not JRiver.

I use for days "Modern cards grey" (f.i.) and nights "Black on Black" (f.i.).

We agree this would be nice.  I'll look at it in a coming day.  I was thinking an MCWS call to set the skin and you could schedule it with Scheduler.

Nice idea.

That would be awesome!

I have a question regarding the "Modern Cards: Dark Edition" skin - is there any way you can change the font color of the selected item in lists?

Currently it looks like in the attached screenshot - I think white or blue (like in the tree for selected items) would work better here - black is barely readable.

The text is dark because the selection indicator is light, as per attached. In your screenshot, the selection indicator appears to be AWOL...
Is this just a "MAC" thing, or is something else going on?

I quite like the look of your font there. What is that, and is it available on Windows?

In this attachment the "selected" (as in, clicked with mouse) is track 3 , track 2 is the one currently playing (this is in "Player" view).
In the previous one both currently playing and "selected" is track 2 on that list.
The selection indication appears to be those 3 dots on the edge of the list?

The font is Helvetica Regular. Pretty standard font I think, I remember using it back in my Amiga days, should be available on Windows also

Leave this with me a day or so. I do not use MACs so have asked elsewhere for some notes on this issue. Will let you know whether or not I get anywhere with it.

Have to be careful we don't end up distracting from the OP, so...

Interesting idea.

I think this dark on dark highlighting is because the dark theme enabled on MacOS and MC isn't expecting that.

There is some interesting info here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsappearancecustomization/choosing_a_specific_appearance_for_your_macos_app?language=objc#2993819

It may be that we should force light appearance to start with since that is what the skins are calculated against.
Then when a dark skin is being used I think the selection will be right, not entirely certain though.

Try the most recent Mac build. I'm forcing it to light theme by default.
