It would take a lot of time and effort for me to do that, so unfortunately the answer is no that will not happen for v4.

In the future I do want to do some work in this area though to make it easier to do customizations and to make them stored external to MoI like in your user data folder so they can persist between installs but there is a tricky problem around this area which is to merge together changes in the default UI with your own changes in an automated way.

For now when you customize MoI you should keep a record of what you do so you can repeat it with new releases.

If you don't want to do that then either don't customize it or wait until the final v4 release before using v4 so you will only need to do it one time.

When you apply all these customizations like you've been so fond of, you should understand that you are outside of the standard supported target of Moi and you are taking responsibility for doing your own work on it.
