Trouble is that you can't really have a committee (isn't it funny that just
two hours ago we were talking about the spelling of that word ;-) decide on
what the look and feel of an entire system *should* be. Consistency is more
important than individual preferences. If you want to make progress on this
find a good UI designer who has his or her own style and simply decide to
adopt it *before* you even looked at it.
