(Its GSoC code time and we're starting our overhaul now! This is the first of many issues that will follow. All GSoC issues will be tagged as gsoc2009 and gsoc2009-lut4rp.)

A long time requested feature has been a way to change the voting widget. The only way to do that in 1.x was to modify the images and CSS. This is inspired from Fivestar (http://drupal.org/project/fivestar) which has a method for users to select different "star sets".

Our goals:
- Show a list of all available widget themes
- Allow users to choose different themes for every implementation (eg: nodes, comments)
- Allow each widget theme have its own style (up, up/down, down)

Implementation ideas:
- Base it on template files (implemented in UpDown - http://drupal.org/project/updown)
- keep widget engine in vote_up_down.widget.inc
- keep widgets in ./widgets/
- template_preprocess_* hooks are already in use in the 1.x branch.
- More ideas? :-)

Since GSoC is over, has this been updated somewhere?

Widget API works AFAIK.
