 Overall, the screenshot is doable, and would be pretty much limited to
hacking yast-qt/gtk. It does requires quite some work, and the
collaboration of an artist.
 We could fallback to the current skin for smaller resolution. For the
transparency effect, you don't need 3D, just 3 backgrounds. Frame-less,
transparent dialogs could be the most tricky part.
 We could also throw in some animations: when advancing steps, or on the
transition between the steps pane to show help.

 This is of course mostly a marketing thing, the installer looks don't
affect its usability. That's why I guess it has changed little in that
department.

Cheers,
 Ricardo
