Generally speaking it's not good to change native look of UI common controls, i.e. option should look just like any other default option on that operating system (I mean not imitating the default skin, but using user's skin instead, so it really looks like what the user is used to).

But I can imagine cases when your personal skin for controls is more intuitive than original ones. (like icons in toolbar for buttons, you don't have the same "button" icon for every one, that would be bad for user).

So I think the ability to skin controls can be both nice and good for final user, if the developer doesn't change control's look just to make them "look cool", that's bad.

Changing just colors looks to me more like "look cool" approarch (even if the intent is to make it more intuitive), which will in the end break "chameleon" skinning, when it will be finally available.
