I'm not sure if you've seen this thread?

I hate to say it, but trying to assemble a team for BYOFE in the Software forum is going to be a little less helpful than banging your head repeatedly on a wall. Everyone's FE's are all way too superior than the other guys to be bothered thinking about anything else, and they're just going to keep shouting that at you. Shame.
I can give you a hand with my sweet drawing skillz, but that's about all I can offer.
If the display portion could lean towards how Kymaera did it, it would be cool. PacManFans skin system made it really easy to design for and it was real easy to create skins for multiple resolutions.
Edit: Oh, and support for PNG-24 images with transparencies would be sweet.

Yes I have. Didn't I just tell you that the configurations of front-ends (which seems to be your main concern) are all external? You don't need the source code for that. And let me tell you, if you write a utility for a front-end that is really helpful, a dev is going to be a lot more receptive to adding the other things you are talking about.

Are you saying that MAMEWAH Config wasn't really helpful? There are plenty of users who disagree with you there.
I don't know anything about DK other than I spent a solid week trying to get it to work and failed. I don't know anything about external, internal or snozzleternal. I love lamp?

I'll have to take a look at Kymaera again.. I like the XML idea.
