BUEditor, sometimes, is criticized to have a too simple interface having ugly buttons. Having no counter-arguments, I can only show how BUEditor can be themed in order to achieve the desired look.

The below is a demonstration of a themed interface of BUEditor's default editor, which has become very hard to be recognized as BUEditor. The buttons and the style is borrowed from the popular WYSIWYG editor: TinyMCE. Hopefully, its interface is not criticized too much.

This interface was created in 2 simple steps

1. Icons of the default buttons were replaced with the ones in TinyMCE icon set
2. Some BUEditor CSS was overridden in site theme.
   <style type="text/css" media="all">
.editor-container {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
.editor-container input {/* buttons */
  border-color: #f5f5f5; /* or transparent*/
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
.editor-container input:hover, .editor-container input.stay-clicked {
  border-color: #06c;
  background-color: #ccf;
}
</style>

Notes:

• Further CSS theming can be applied to editor dialogs. Check out bueditor.css
• Internet Explorer 6 does not show button hover effects.
