Project to "Pretty Up" WM apps?

I'm interested in starting a project to help WM developers make nicer-looking apps. While the power of WM is great, I think many of us realize that the apps simply don't have the "slick"ness that apps on some competing platforms have. Part of this, I think, is because some of the awesome developers overwork themselves and simply don't have the time (or training) to pump up slick graphics to go with their slick functionality.

I have a handful of graphic design training and I think a decent understanding of UI design, but I lack programming skillz. I'd love to offer my graphic abilities to the community, and I'm sure there's plenty of others like me out there as well.

What I'd like to do is help developers find folks who want to help create graphic assets and interface designs for apps. Perhaps nothing more extensive is needed than a thread where graphics folks can post samples of their work and maybe a list of things they'd like to work on.

I realize that some developers really prefer working as a "one man" operation, and I don't want to step on any toes. But I'd like to hear feedback from the development community here and suggestions on ways we could make a project like this work great.
