Hi all,

For blender 2.3, user interface themes (colour customization) are being worked on currently.

What are peoples opinions on how much colour customization should be allowed?

Should every single button colour be changeable independently? Should there be
a general theme colour, to which all other colours are dependant? Should colours
from within the 3d space be changeable in the same place (active object, edit-mode 
vertex colours, etc)? Should there not be any true per-user customization, but a
few (say 4) pre-made themes which could be selected from a list (ala opera)? Should
the colours be all changeable from within blender, or should they be loaded from a
text file (gtkrc style)? As you can see, there are many possible options, and combinations.

PS - A simple colour customization system can be seen in the tuhopuu blender project.
