Not really an issue so much as a gripe and a question. IMHO, the skins in DA leave a lot to be desired. The default skin has massive buttons that collectively fill the screen and make for a cluttered UI. I liken it to driving a car with controls spread across both sides of the front seat! The "Power User" skin is buttonless and compact, but arranged very differently from the default. Everything's there, somewhere, (I think!) but it feels like it was put together when the UI braintrust was on vacation because it seems so non-intutitive. For instance, it took me 5-10 minutes of searching to find the control to switch back to the default skin!
I'd love to have a skin somewehere in between: perhaps the default skin with smaller buttons or no buttons. I see in one of the menus that I can install my own skin, but I did a search and looked around on the site-helper site was unable to find any available for download.
Here are the questions:
Is installing new skins asking for trouble?
Does anyone know of any "better" alternative skins available?
