I created my own theme and it looks quite nice in MT4. Maybe it looks good for other apps as well.

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...)

@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?
