This is a skin based on the Rosepine color palette: https://rosepinetheme.com/palette/ingredients/
I started out by modying Fluke's Kandinsky Dark skin, while it is modified a lot, it was a great starting point: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=20695.0
Also thanks to Hiccup's sample skin!

I am also planning on making a light version in the future.

Dark Version:







Light Version:

This is my first skin, so if you spot any error please let me know!

Fantastic skin, great color scheme! The one tweak I made for my own use was to remove the alternating text color in track details. I use font highlighting rules to identify certain things, so that throws me off. Since it's an XML, that was an easy fix (aside from remembering which element it was, lol).

[Update] Well, since I use the sidebar player instead of the main player I realized it's missing some of those elements. But again, it's XML, I can resolve that myself.  I might fiddle with some of the other colors as a matter of personal preference, but this may replace Sting as my main skin for a while. (Can't give up Sting, I'll just move it to my other installation.)

Thank you for the feedback. I have made the alternating tracks background + text color less contrasting with the normal background, it was a bit too much. And also added some colors to the sidebar player. And yeah, I prefer xml over the compiled version for this reason too :)

Also: I have now added a light theme version of this skin

Thanks for creating and sharing carcassonne!

It's probably me, but when I go to your github page, I see a couple of helpful links, but not download links for the skins themselves?

edit:
Ah, fuggetaboutit, I was put off by a link that I saw saying 'fix sidebar player', but it is the actual download link to the skin file.

edit2:
And where it says: Rosephine 'Add light theme', it is the link to the dark version.
(Rosephine Dusk?)

Sorry, me being not that familiar with GitHub

I might have taken it for granted that people don't know about git/github, sorry! It was also confusing for me once.
Basically, to get to the dawn skin you press the "dawn" folder. In there you can find the "Rosepine Dawn.xml" file. It is the same for the normal (dark) skin: You press the "default" folder, and in there you can find "Rosepine.xml". You have to press the folder name itself, what you were pressing before were the 'commits'. These are the changes introduced since the last version for a group of files.

Here are direct links to the files:
Dark: https://github.com/carcasonne/MusicBee-Rosepine/blob/main/default/Rosepine.xml
Light: https://github.com/carcasonne/MusicBee-Rosepine/blob/main/dawn/Rosepine%20Dawn.xml

There is a small icon in the top which says "Download raw file" for each file
