It's OpenSource!
You can build your own QT with all the (supported) features you want.

cha ching.. this guy gets it
you can also if you only know VB.NET or other languages, make your own GUI that simply API calls the bitcoin deamon..
.. well thats what i did
You know, that is true, but this kind of answer is my pet peeve. This is what drove me crazy in the Linux community: I would say that something isn't working right and they'd say "It's open source, fix it yourself." Yeah, that's great and all, but I'm not a programmer (well, I know php and C#, but just as a hobby). This is why non-tech people don't use Linux.
the 100 devs that are doing the bitcoin core are not slaves, thy have their own reasons to do it, and also their own workload. maybe if you paid them to code in an imagebox into the background so that people can then load in their own images. then they may do it.
so heres the three choices
1. wait for the voluntary addition of 'skins' (low priority)
2. code it yourself so that its no longer on the waiting list
3. pay them to make it a high priority
the dev team are not slaves so dont think you can make 'demands' and add to their 'priority' work load for free. 'suggestions' are free, but made 'low priority'. as security ALWAYS comes first
