First of all, once a "hacker" creates a new style of user interface
component, anyone can take advantage of it, not its creator.  And the
cold reality is that you're going to have to have some programming
experience to build new graphical UI components, at least with the
software technology we have today.

Second, various proposal have been made in other messages that would
allow the "look and feel" of various UI pmponents to be changed merely
by replacing files in LIBS:.  I don't have much time to think about
the issue right now, since I have my final exam as an undergraduate
student tomorrow and I really should go and prepare for it.  Hopefully
I'll have more to say later.
