I see.

Regarding myself, I in fact don't like taking the enhanced effort of 
beatifying the GUI (and Delphi-introduced Windows Widget Set 
compatibility) in consideration too much. For me GUI is just a necessary 
must to allow for user interaction and should be as restricted and 
efficient as possible. Hence even the offering of the LCL seems bloated 
to me and I would not mind restricting it to commonly usable widgets.

Of course packages that enhance the standard set (in additional groups) 
always are welcome and should be decently documented regarding the 
supported external widget set(s).

Regarding the IDE, I think it would be great, if the Widget selection 
offered in the could be GUI Designer could be project-depending: i.e. 
reduced / modified / enhanced) if in a project I select a certain 
WidgetType setting. (Or is something like this already in place ? )
