Let's adhere to standards, but lets make those standards good.

Why is this community so against having apps look good :S?

It's open source, you don't have to force them, you can just FORK them!
Maybe the developer likes your patch and will incorporate it, maybe he likes it the way it is. You can't just go around and say stuff like that.
The apps that are now developed are in the beginning stages, where the developers focus more on functionality than usability.
The app that you gave as an example is nearly a week in development!
WTF dude?!
And most of the iphone apps look gimmicky.

That's all, I'm sorry if offended you. I didn't know custom was such a bad word around here. I feel like that Maemo-Freak guy now.

You've seen Canola, eCoach, AlmostTI... Icons, backgrounds, everything is customizable, and I'm sure that you know that.
You don't need custom design to make it "nicer". It's the UX that's important, and wondering every time I open a new app where the buttons are, and what's part of the background, isn't helping.
In some apps it makes sense, in most it doesn't. Most of the apps just need a better UI layout to make them "nicer".
