Some interfaces are really terrible color wise and I prefer the grey backgrounds of many programs: It's the easiest and most comfortable for the eye. (I'm not a big fan of "skinning" either for that matter). Next to that: It might influence color schemes/themes within all kind of OSes. That's not nice behavior. My preference would be to have a bold text (label) in the top right (or top left) saying: *"mode: Beginner"* or whatever mode you are working in. This text could also appear in the button bar (so much for "button" bar) if you want to keep the screen as clean as possible.
