Title: [New Theme Request] Dark mode jriver theme according to Fluent Design guidelines
Post by: JonnyRedHed on August 05, 2019, 03:28:00 pm

Any thoughts on working towards implementing a dark mode jriver theme according to Fluent Design guidelines by Microsoft (on win10).

Right now the closest is my Modern Cards: Acrylic Light Edition skin fork.

There's no fully dark version, but that's as close as you're going to get I'm afraid. There's some caveats though, like adding the semi-transparent elements to the tree for example isn't possible. Maybe someday I'll work on a fully dark version, but it'll likely only have the top part and the status bar semi-transparent.

Okay, so I made a quick 5 minute mod of the Dark Edition skin, and ported over the Acrylic Light Edition elements to create...

This is as close as you're going to get with a "Fluent Design" dark mode looking skin for JRiver Media Center. Also only the top part of the window along with the status bar are semi-transparent. I'll try to add it to my Modern Cards forks pack tomorrow (hopefully with other skin updates soon). :)

It does look pretty nice, I have to admit. Not sure why I didn't do an Acrylic Dark Edition skin mod earlier when I did the other ones. *scratches head*

EDIT: Released new/updated skin pack here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,106397.0.html

Thx added them all.

Would you be able to do a slight/not not so slight edit to the Acrylic Dark Edition please.  I like huge transport buttons, and the large clickable area they give.  Could you maybe use the grey scale transport buttons from 50 Shades of Night/V/2 as seen below in the screen grab, with your Acrylic Dark Edition blue mouse over highlight color. 

Spaced out more though like your transport controls with your Acrylic Dark Edition skin.  With suitable to your Acrylic Dark Edition skin pause,fast forward/rewind/next track etc mouse on/off.

Could name the skin 'Acrylic Dark Big Edition'.

Thanks if you can, and understand if not.
