I am, because often 'tastes change' faster than our library does.
The original MacOSX theme ("plastic") looks really dated,
though it was the shiznit 10 years ago. It's still in the code.
Mike's "gtk+" scheme looks pretty good, and I always start
all new FLTK apps with Fl::scheme("gtk+") now.
But there's probably many others that very talented people
could make to enhance FLTK even further, but I'm not sure
they know how to do it (perhaps we need a simple tutorial
if there isn't one already).
Also, not sure how easy it is to 'package up' a new scheme
so that other people can use it; currently I think you basically
have to patch(1) the FLTK source code to add a new scheme.
But certainly it seems to let one control quite a bit of
the look of the interface; text input fields, buttons, sliders,
scrollers, etc.
However, I think it's mainly implemented as a lot of if()
statements in the widget code, instead of as modules that
can simply be "linked in" to define a new scheme.
