Description

Hello !

First of all, I'm a long time user, coming from Linux. It's my favorite music player in both Windows & Linux. Nice job guys.

I've observed something:
Audacious does match the color theme from Windows - basically it is always blue - see the screenshot.

It would be nice to have this option for better integration with Windows.

Thanks!

Windows 10 is just broken like that. The Windows 10 "accent color" does not change the actual color theme, even for native apps like Notepad.

Windows still has real color themes, like it has since Windows 3.x, but you have to go into the Registry now to find them1. Audacious follows those color settings as do (some) native Windows apps.
