What about making Options -> GUI where you would have a radio button for the GUI? You could switch it back and forth and look at the program change UI dynamically. It would be wonderful :) And we could write out new Nobel Prize category: for achieving Pcb compilation :) > > Other developers have tried this one, but noone really managed to > achive this goal. > > A GUI is not just the look but also the feel, Especially the feel is > that much different between many systems that there is no usable least > common denominator.

My father has Czech GIMP. I got English GIMP. I am unable to work with his GIMP much well because instead of "Layers" it reads "Vrstvy". Czech is my mother tongue, but relearning different language of the names makes some friction. I guess the same will be with PCB. Some distro maker turns the interface completely inside out because it will look 1% more fancier and feel 2% more cozy, and the other distro users will look at it as if it came from Mars.
