What aspects of look and feel do you refer to?

gschem is written in C, with straight "C" GTK calls, so it is not like a
glade UI where you can move widgets about by altering the glade XML
file.

OTOH: GTK does have a lot of customisability through the use of a gtkrc
file, however I'm not sure what you mean by look and feel. Fonts etc,
button sizes (defined by gtk, but user customisable via gtkrc I think).

If it is keyboard bindings etc.., then that is already somewhat
customisable in system-gschemrc. I was thinking that the toobar layout
might be customisable, but I just remembered it is hardcoded.
