lol! ¦D
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

than a few buttons being replaced with more compact icons in later releases,
this screen shot doesn't look much different from today.
