I'd suggest a fresh look be introduced when the ref counting and GC work has been done,
Believe it or not i'm not opposed to this.

No. This is fashion. Hire a professional to do it and make long term usability a requirement. The 2d flat look will feel very old when the big boys (Microsoft, Apple) move on.
