Is there any plans to add a Dark Theme for Foobar2000 that matches the Dark mode of Windows 10/11?

Foobar already supports custom themes, some of which are dark.

For instance, there's https://www.deviantart.com/tedgo/art/DarkOne4Mod-v1-637189138

I've also compiled a list of Foobar themes here https://audio-file.org/foobar2000-cui-dui-themes/

Dare I suggest that this is actually in the works? But it will require every component to be rebuilt against a newer SDK, and all of their GUI code amended to take advantage of it.

Great news if it is in the works. Updating myriad components sounds like a headache, but I think it would be worth it in the long run. Speaking personally, all I'd appreciate having is additional solid colour settings for parts of the interface that are currently dictated by Windows, nothing fancy. As it stands currently, I prefer to put up with incongruous grey areas in my interface, rather than change system-wide settings that invariably compromise the interfaces in other software (which AFAIK is necessary in the examples 2tec linked.)

musicmusic is making great progress on supporting dark mode in Columns UI as well.
