The PC interface works well for me and I am skeptical that if Sonos were to change the color scheme that they would be able to resist making other changes that would be disruptive to the way I use my system. Best to leave it be.

Just posted on another thread before finding this but.... If you cannot read the screen the new features are pointless!!!! Dark blue and grey on Black, surely this cannot be seen as a good combination. Forget complex skinning options, but there has to be a simple way to add at least 1 option for a more contrasting UI. If you like the current one then don't change otherwise select the other.
Its 3 or more years since people started asking for a different, or choice of, Skin colour. Your stance detracts badly from what is probably the BEST music system for home use. [That was true until my Bridge unit died last week] BUT, and it is a big BUT, Black and blue are probably the worst colours you could choose for the controller. Its OK for youngsters who have 20/20 vision and excellent colour perception, for us old guys [this one is 5 years older than the invention of the transistor and still 18 years older than the first silicon chip] we have a difficulty to differentiate the colour of the arrows and tabs from the background. I have asked repeatedly and you always acknowledge it, BUT YOU don't do anything about it! Please make it a priority tp offer a skin choice in the next update to the controller.
Just searched for how to change colours on the interface and was sent here. Anything happened in the last 8 months? Sonos sounds great but the blue/black colour combination on the PC is so hard to use. Come on guys, help us!
Just want to reiterate that the PC interface works well for me and I am skeptical that if Sonos were to change the color scheme that they would be able to resist making other changes that would be disruptive to the way I use my system. Best to leave it be

But why should a change of colour, or the option to do so, change anything else? The problem I have, which has been alluded to on here, is that the contrast makes it difficult for 'older' eyes to even see the scroll bar in order to check out playlists that are off the screen. The only way to do this is to juggle the laptop to just the right angle. This is, obviously, not a problem when using a touch screen device.
There is no reason a color change should affect anything else but Sonos has a history that suggests if they decide to work on it at all they likely won't stop at just a simple color tweak. The risk of what might be lost is greater than the benefits of better contrast.
