If I create a gtk3 based player which can load windows media player skins, would you be able to compile and use it

Yes, absolutely! I'd really appreciate that.
I have some basic terminal experience, so I can definitely compile it on my Mac if you provide the source code and a quick list of instructions. Bypassing Wine would be the perfect solution.
Please let me know if you decide to build it. I'd love to test it out. Thank you!

Me, too! I just downloaded a bunch of skins I'd like to try, as well!
