I agree as well. I was just about to make such a change to 0.10.3, but I
think we need to decide how radical a change we want to make with the
current release, compared to Fallout.

I would like to take the opportunity to give you an idea of my plans with
the changes I have made so far. For 0.10.3 I will continue to implement the
consistent design I have already started. I don?t know how many modules I
can change before the release candidate, but I'll try to get as far as
possible.
Once 0.10.3 is out, I think we should consider the possibility of going
further with this work. I my opinion it is not only a matter of adding new
styles. Some modules could benefit for a more user-friendly workflow. I
would suggest that we take one module at a time, and look closer into how we
can change the interface as well as the flow between input forms. I have
already started to make some prototypes, and if we can agree on the changes,
then we need to decide how we should go further with the changes. It would
involve some coding and I would no doubt need a lot of help. I would like to
stress out, that I have no plans for adding new features, and introducing
changes to the database layout. It is only a matter of how the workflow is
organised and how the different pages communicate with each other.
