I think it's better to look for a GUI toolkit that is xml/json based with hardware acceleration and device independent pixels, that's what all modern toolkits have in common, it's much easier to do layout, high dpi, dark theme and advanced/custom controls. MediaMonkey was using Delphi, and then they gave up in favor of HTML, I complained ten years with dozens of posts in their forum about their shitty high dpi support, finally had to migrate to MusicBee which is also WinForms based and has many high dpi issues but at least the main window has properly working skins.
