Front Panel Color Schemes or skins

[RTSLVU]

I will be the first to admit I am no artist. My panels are either bland or look like crap. I have tried making custom controls and they look like crap. I generally settle for a bland front panel full of default controls, text, and indicators in gray with maybe a light blue background.

It would be nice to have a set of color schemes to chose from, like any modern OS has that would color the panel and controls/indicators in a complementary colors.

Have a simple way for people to make, save, and share color schemes.

Better yet a skinning engine that would allow the very artistic to produce and distribute custom control sets like the modern or new silver set.

My advise: Use system control and system colors.

You can almost not go wrong using them since every PC user will recognize them (while the same can not be said for 3d, classic or even the newer silver).

Note: I said "almost", because there are some rare instances where the program has to mimic a real instrument and system control are not the best suited for that.
