I agree with the OP. I have just upgraded from MM4 to MM5 and my first thought was: "OMG what the hell is this, my Pentium 486 Windows 3.1 PC had better graphics" !!!!
I get it that it's hard to please everyone, but it's also hard to displease everyone! I use MediaMonkey to manage my library and create playlists, but to actually play music I mostly use Roon. Have a look at that, or even only at something like KDE's Amarok, to get a feeling for what a better interface might look like
In the skins page
https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... 1/skins-1/ you can't even enlarge the pictures, so it's impossible to make out fonts and details; you need to click "support", but that's not immediately clear, and it only works for some skins
CodeMonkey is incredibly bland and anonymous
DarkMonkey and MaterialDesign will burn your retinas with that odd combination of black and orange which reminds me of Barcelona's taxis
Dr Sol's Perpetual looks like a Windows 3.1 interface, and it's with Times New Roman; a font with serif for this kind of interface?????
MetroClassic seems the same as CodeMonkey but with a different font
MonkeyGroove seems like a 20-year old interface but at least it lets you change the main colour
