One (hard) aspect of GUI design in case of Pd is that the GUI widgets are provided by Tcl/Tk at the moment, which does not allow for such kind of skinning, afaik.
Tcl/Tk up to 8.4 allow some amount of configuration... at least much more than has ever been used by anyone in pd.tk.
Tcl/Tk introduced the TkTile toolkit, for which I've heard that the big new feature is that you can skin it. I haven't tried it myself. Meanwhile, I'm using Pd-Extended with Tcl/Tk 8.5 while, officially, this very same version of Pd-Extended is said to "not support" Tcl/Tk 8.5. On top of that, Miller still wants to support Tcl/Tk 8.3 for some upcoming releases, and such things that were already becoming obsolete in 2003.
There has been talk, however, about migrating to another GUI toolkit.
Talk, talk, talk, it's only talk. Arguments, babble, bicker bicker bicker, brouhaha, it's only talk.
Elephant Talk!
Matju, how about an elephant talk synth? may be it could also be a default patch loaded at start, a pd-jingle, hey! :)) why not, ..hm now Fripp makes sounds for M$ ..but well may be we could ask Him to do some for us too? pd could have some sound effects ..like add an object could play a bubelly sound and deleted object shall play an appocaliptic trumpet :))
