Unfortunately. But good taste is rare thing...
I haven't seen those offers...
AFAIK the only "contributions" have been requests or complaints, with the implication that Kovid must provide a better UI -- oh, and at least one person provided pictures of what calibre "should" look like.

No one has implemented a better UI and filed a pull request.
Kovid is on record saying, if someone did so and the proposed UI is as featureful as the current one (no half-assed implementations, IOW) it would most likely get accepted.



I think a pluginized, themeable UI would be pretty cool. But as I said earlier in the thread, no on with the skills and experience has stepped forward...
