Updated graphical interface

I am a huge fan of QLC+ and its functionality, however, in keeping with the modern and flat style of Windows 10 and most other software, I would like to see QLC+ with an updated graphical interface. I understand that this would be a huge undertaking, and would require redesigning every icon, button, etc., but the end result could give QLC+ a whole new feel and hopefully futureproof the graphics for a decade. I am able to assist in redesigning the icons etc. and give some direction as to what I mean.
Thanks for your consideration.

Sorry, I looked a bit deeper, and this is exactly what I was hoping, although, I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of a flat style to the icons and a few buttons, eg. single colours for the icons (white would look good) or single colours for the buttons in groups (white for 1 group, blue for 1 group, etc.) and eliminating gradients and borders. Basically, simplify the appearance whilst maintaining the functionality. Otherwise it looks great! Sorry again for posting without looking a bit more on the forum.
Thanks

Well, QLC+ doesn't run only on Windows, so it is agnostic to specific OSes designs like Metro, Material design, etc..
I just want it to look to same on every OS/platform and I already know there will people not liking it.
As a personal taste, I don't particularly like flat styles, even if they appear to be the current fashion trend.
They look to me like a step back, when computers couldn't affort gradients or shadows.
