I have tought abit about that aswell, the only thing I could see as "good" would be to move all UI items to a theme folder, this would make it harder to change ex. the padding with the skill window, but make it easier to create or change skins.
This way we also create a skin system and thats pretty good since we then can add ex flash, OTC as it is right now, standalone client etc etc
Maybe you can think of something better?
And another thing that we should do is to move the cooldown list to above the channel tabs.
Problem with moving the cooldown list is that not all versions of tibia use the cooldown icons, but even then you could just not load the bar if that isn't the case.
And yeah, a loadable skin system is important for the OTC, no one can really make a perfect layout, and one of the fun things about computer gaming is the ability to edit and mod the files of games, and people should be able to make their own layouts.
The default OTC skin should be something similar to cipsofts, but it should also feel like it's own thing, something newer and fresher.
It's also an endless debate on what is a good looking ui layout, because for example this is how I made mine:
(this screenshot is slightly old, but the updates to the UI are only minor)
But even in my own client, it can be changed to this:
They key to this is to allow there to be options, and a skin changer is important to allow options.
