Please stop wasting time on pretentious designer bullshit like this. Skinning is great for in-game HUDs, but making a regular repeated-use app look <i>completely</i> alien against native look and feel is one of the worst things one can do.<p>Some customizations here and there are fine and all successful apps notable for their UI do it to a degree. This is what gives an app its personality and character, <i>but</i> note that it's done through meticulous visual polish and attention to details. On the other hand, if you are running on a device that uses inherently skeuomorphic styling and a specific font, then going all flat, green and Proxima Nova is like walking into a cocktail party in flip-flops and a pirate hat. Sure, it will give some people a chuckle and make everyone notice, but it will also make you look like an eccentric dork. And sure as hell it will make hosts think twice about ever inviting you again.
