Have to agree with the "redesign" suggestion.
Eye candy is sweet!

I always appreciate programs that have optional User Interfaces or skins as sometimes the stock ones interfere with the functionality, ie. are hard to read or have a cluttered look.
This means that the user can stick with the original if it suits them.

Not being a programmer I have no idea how difficult it is to write the code to accomplish this but,know from personal experience, I was drawn to BIAB in spite of the "retro" interface.
The features are amazing, the interface, not so much.

I think the reason most of the older users, of which I am one, age wise at least, don't want the interface to change is that we're afraid we will have to relearn the program.

An example of poorly implemented change is judged by the reaction to Windows 8.

Microsoft's failure to offer some continuity and familiarity along with the updated interface has baffled and angered many who have tried to use it.

I'm sure if PG does decide to update their interface, they will do it the right way.
