VueMinder Pro and Ultimate can be skinned with custom appearance themes. The documentation linked below gives a brief introduction to using the theme editor:

How to Share a Theme
If you've created a custom theme and would like to share it with other VueMinder users, please post it here! The theme can be uploaded as a zip file. Optional - if you've edited the icons too, include the file named "ToolbarsUser.xml" in the zip file. That file is located in the folder where VueMinder stores its data.

How to Install a Theme
To install a theme that has been uploaded here, download and extract the file. Copy the file that ends with an "isl" extension to the folder where VueMinder was installed. This is usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\VueSoft\VueMinder". The theme can then be selected in the Appearance Options.

If the zip file includes a file named ToolbarsUser.xml, exit VueMinder by right-clicking its icon in the task tray and selecting "Exit". Extract the ToolbarsUser.xml file to the folder where VueMinder saves user data. The path can be found in the Program Options. When VueMinder is restarted, you'll see icons that are more consistent with the appearance theme.

Here my PureBlack Theme (with a blue touch). It's not 100% finished as some areas are not yet available for skinning yet (Year view, Timeline view, Details pane).
Also I don't use many features of this amazing software so I might have missed important aspects to other users.
Finally I paid most attention just to the normal visible area and not to popup windows and menu (they are skinned too, but there may be some problems or inconsistencies).
Please report any problem and I'll try to fix them.

Hi tacchan23, looks great! Would you mind if I include this theme in the next version?

Feel free to add it in the next version!
And if you notice any problems please let me know so I can try to improve it

FYI, this theme is included with version 10.1.0 and later.

I'd like to point out that the 'Midnight' theme does not theme the box labelled 'default'. Partial screenshot:

Everything except that 'details' pane is nearly black, i.e., is in accord with the theme.

Also, some text is only poorly visible: see, on the 'about' window, the 'help' and 'ok' buttons and indeed the 'you'll receive ..' text.

Problem with 'Baby Blue' theme - the title 'navigation pane' is barely readable. Possibly this problem has something to do with my Windows wide settings. Yet, still, what my picture - below - shows, should not happen.

The Details Pane doesn't use the appearance theme (for some technical reasons). To make the coloring of the Details Pane consistent, open the Appearance Options and click the "Details Pane" button. Change the background color to black, text color to light gray, and the other colors to whatever you like. See this page for more info:

I'll fix this in the next release.

The "Baby Blue" theme has been corrected in version 2019.02. To update, click the "Help -> Check for Updates" menu command.
