​Isarra, we're designing a single look and feel for controls, community
developers are welcome to extend that set to other skins, ​since the skin
of these controls will extensively use LESS (right developers?) this should
be a trivial task, and while we're happy to give feedback on these
community changes for other skins, we do not have the time or resources to
maintain skin specific variations.
