I'd like to have a reply here, from people who think that T3/T4 interface is not optimised, non-ergonomic or confusing, read on.
Reason:
Some lower-quality dj apps. have ability to change or even use 3rd party skins. NI has totally gone mad with a complete redesign of interface for the second time! I can get used to it like I've adapted to T2->T3 change but this made me think of Skinning Traktor 3 and Pro.
Realisation:
Idea is not to change traktor application itself but create a new one that would sit ontop the existing interface/window. So you have a traktor running and then ontop a new application that covers some/all/half of the controls that u think you would not use or you have a better layout.
Communication would be done via OSC (open sound control) which Traktor neatly and bidirectionally supports.
GUI should be customisable so that every user can create his own.
If not fully customisable in run-time, at least easily customisable in IDE so that everyone can compile his onw version.
I have some other functionality ideas but they are not of importance right now.

This is quite a large project and I will need help from every developer that is willing (or you can take this idea and develop whole app on your own). Note that this app as such can and will be used with other music apps aswell.
Things that should be discussed:
- developer IDE/Language (I vote: C#.NET 2008 Express or #Develop (both free))
- OSC library to use (based on language/IDE)
- GUI Library (should be something neat or a copy of Traktor controls)
- Additional libraries
