Proposal: unskinned mode "Songbird Naked"

Is there a possibility of an unskinned feather or mode that just uses plain default windows OS window, title bar, border etc.? One of the things that's so bloated about itunes and quicktime is the skinning of the interface.
I also agree with this guy’s comment that for something trying to differentiate itself It’s trying to look too much like Itunes. http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/t...
I mean there are some nice skins and people have done a good job on but I prefer a no frills look. It would be even lighter on memory. One of the things I detest about skinning and this goes all the way back to Winamp and the like is the annoying ghosting effect of skins. When you move the window it’s as if the skin graphics can’t catch up with the window code underneath fast enough. I say you should add a skinless mode as a feature. And not just a skin with graphics that fakes the look of windows. Specify no skinning or graphics save perhaps some of the internal buttons and allow the program to use the actual rendered native windows interface. You could call it "Songbird Naked" or "flightless bird" or something cute like that. It's not pretty it just works. Think about it. Some people might consider this boring but I think a lot of people would prefer it more lightweight like this.
