The best bet and the safe round is to "reskin" SOE's base skin. Like commonelemnts, framestyles etc.

In each mod you will see a folder called data. In that folder you will see a style. For example the dropdown object uses /CommonElements.dropdown.data.style. If you change the images and text that the style links to any dropdown that uses SOE's dropdown style will take on the new look.

I use to make my own but after much thought and debate (with my self) I have decided its best to just reskin SOE's styles. That way the game isn't haven't to load in to style sets plus if a user of my skin wants to drop in a third party mod it will most likely have the look of my skin and not default.
