Hey, so I got this theme applied everywhere but foobar2000. Is there a way to make it work there as well? (Not necessarily the exact theme, just need the dark mode to apply which is doesn't want to...)

probably doeesn't use the windows built in theming, so I doubt you can fix it without modding the program or something
@givbra script got the closest to looking good. Does anyone know how to fix the spots I circled in red?
Every application handles the theming differently. Nothing can be done from the WINE side on a per application basis.
Best you can do is mess with the colors and see which ones those spots are using and see if you can change them to something more legible
I created my own theme and it looks quite nice in MT4. Maybe it looks good for other apps as well.

I dont know why but this theme causes wine to do this for me. Major PITA to fix it afterwards, uninstall script doesn't work either. I think my wine install is wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have tried a full blown w10 msstyles theme earlier?..

This is really nice, thank you

@Opposite34, foobar got dark mode (windows theming?) support since version 2 - this wine theme approach works for those. Here's what it looks like (Slyfox88's theme):
With some plugins, namely foo_wave_minibar_mod and foo_simplaylist:
foo_simplaylist looks even better than on windows, since it's an old plugin and doesn't support dark mode.

It's probably the way I setup foobar as well I guess. I was using https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/erosanix/blob/master/pkgs/foobar2000.nix this nix flake which worked, and it did put wine prefix under my home. However, while the registry trick made the menu for the wine theme editor to be dark mode just fine, foobar stayed in light mode. I've ditched foobar for now though because wine apps are notoriously overusing cpu (leading to overheating) even with powersave, but I'll still keep this gist in mine if I have to theme a wine app.
It mostly works but here's what I get with Wine File:
Any ideas about what's missing here?

Maybe someone will find this decolorized theme in Photoshop style useful. I made it for myself.
