This is about 30% done and is the bit he's very slow at). Thomas’s canvas widgets have a very good separation of API + state from appearance, so all styling is in its own file, and James is being very strict about maintaining this separation, so we also retain the re-styling feature of the PUI UI, which many people also rely on.
