Hi everyone!
I wanted to propose some skins based on Nord palette:
https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord
This palette is really great and I already use it on differend programs!
I would love to see some skins based on Polar Night or Frost in particular!

Funnily I'm working on a skin roughly based on the same principle - I've tried to PM you but it doesn't your user name. if you PM me we can start a discussion about how you could accomplish this

Is this what you had in mind?

I would invert the colors: the darker colors as background and the lighter to highlight things for example.

Just roughed this up still work in progress

Would also be very interested in a Nord theme.
Fred, have you tried using the palette according to the documentation? Night greys for base elements, blues for highlight etc...

What a coincidence...I've been thinking for a while now that MusicBee would be absolutely beautiful with Nord colors!
In my opinion, the stock MusicBee Dark-Metro skins would look beautiful in this color palette. For example, this skin:
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=10884.0
But with these colors:
https://www.nordtheme.com/docs/colors-and-palettes
As I envisioned it in my head:
-Instead of the dark gray and black colors used in the Dark-Metro background, the different shades of Nord's Polar Night.
-Snow Storm would be used for the main library text (song titles, artists, etc.)
-Frost would be the highlights, duration bar, etc.
-Aurora for the text in the headers and footers, the tab titles, and/or any toolbar icons.
I think this would be a lovely representation of Nord's beautiful color palette.
I'd be extremely interested in making this happen, but unfortunately have no experience in skinning. Hopefully someone with the know-how can pick up such a project!

I haven't used the Aurora colours because I like the simplicity of the colours I chose. If you have any suggestions as to where you would like Aurora palette used I'll see what I can do.

This is looking good! Were you able to make any progress? Mind posting a link?

Your wish is my command - the only change from the previous post is that nord13 (from Aurora) is the highlight colour. The skin is in the base directory (skin.xmlc). This link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q-KUF4mCu1DEFjOTQArnMZAckTsgueCy/view?usp=sharing) contains all the source. Good luck on your journey!

How did you get that giant waveform seekbar at the top? Is that a plugin?
