I removed the line in my response that said just that... I decided to just
share my chuckle and not get into it.

So true! But I hope graphic designers at DCC companies do more than just icons.

The lack of original artwork also saved XSI from a dark UI makeover...
For that, a simple, basic and litteral invert (or color corrects) of all 
UI bitmaps and color values would have sufficed,
except for less than a handful of things which would've involved a bit 
of special attention like RGB & XYZ widgets, enough for a temp graphics 
guy to handle easily,
but that goes on top of a bunch of simple things that would have made 
big differences.

Hi, I just came across this reply,

I may be mistaken, but that may be partly because (as I recall reading or 
hearing) that the entire UI glyph sources were wiped by SysAdmins from the 
DS/XSI UI graphic designer's machine when he left.

XSI & DS Interfaces were designed by Charles Migos, a remarkable graphic 
designer who later went to Apple.

He was like a cool swave guy, and his shortened name (for his emails and things) 
spelled-out a quite fitting "charm" :P

A DCC app being developed without a graphic designer on staff?
Simply stunning. - There are no words.

Of all the rapid change that occurs in this industry over the years, it's 
amazing how little the Softimage interface changed during it's lifespan. 
Other than a few buttons being replaced with more compact icons in later 
releases, this screen shot doesn't look much different from today.
