Potential Tool for Updating SharePoint's UI

I haven't gotten a chance to play with this yet, but if you're looking for something to help you change the look and feel of your SharePoint installation's user interface, you might want to take a look at the SharePoint Skinner:

This tool was recently released by Elumenotion, and it looks like it is free to use (it's also posted on CodePlex, so I'm betting that it is indeed free).  I've downloaded the zip file, but haven't gotten a chance to install it and work with it yet. 

From what I'm seeing on Elumenation's site, the tool is intended to help you manipulate the CSS styles of your SharePoint site, meaning you can easily update the colors and images displayed on the site. I like the approach, but just keep in mind that if you're looking for something that will make your SharePoint site not look like a SharePoint site it doesn't look like the SharePoint Skinner going to do it for you on its own.  But, it could be a pretty handy auxiliary tool in your site design toolkit.
