No; but you can have a group of people get together to discuss the 
relatively minor issues of default font chioce, range of fonts in 
various textstyles, coherency of colours and widget sizes etc and then 
actually write some code to implement their decisions. It is after all 
pretty much the definition of open source working.

Yes, ideally someone with real UI talent would be able to get together 
with someone with implementation talent to do a really bangup job. 
Hasn't happened so far - for any OS on any platform ever. I live in 
hope.
