No.  In both cases I'm saying stick with a consistent set of widgets
and visual look across all applications.  Either use your OS's
existing widget set and make your apps look like the existing apps for
that OS, or else throw out all those apps and write a whole new set
whose look is new, but is consistent across all of them.

This is what I'm saying would suck.  Maybe the standing-out would get
more attention but it's a nuisance for users.
