I have the same feelings that CFW should look as much as possible the same as OFW. As a graphic designer always frustrating me when someone adding i.e icon set which I don't like or worst are made untidiness and amateur (and this is 95% or more of the cases). I don't want sounds like an asshole but my main point is that official GUIs are neutral in their looks. They are designed to looks ok on dark backgrounds, light backgrounds, grey, and many different styles. Developers choice often force user to specific style, incompatible with other, and even often inconsistence with his own components. This is the main sin of all developers which want their brand.
In example: Rebug have Rebug coldboot which is good and pro. Have also WebMAN icons which should be choose from original RCOs because if user using custom P3T, "external" custom icons, are highly inconsistent. In another example: I hate DemonHades/Jaicrab CFW 3.56, everything which they done in style is bad and user cannot fix this or go back to original. The same is when author changing wave (the original is truly fantastic, far way better than wave from Orbis).
When I creating icons for WebMAN LaunchPAD and XMB Package Downloader, I'm trying follow the same rule - to make style neutral. I have tried copy original set but I have no idea how to achieve center border lighting and local semi transparent Independent from global lighting, so I made something different, yet still similar. But even this is not fully compatible with original and this is one of the reason why any fw modifications shouldn't be default opt on and included in PUP.
My three cents.
