I'm not a programmer, so have no idea on what's involved..??

For "Branding, Image and Consistency"
How about making "Lite Software" and "Lite Tweaks" look like "Lite Control Centre"

It's certainly doable, but LCC is written in python, the other 2 are in bash/zenity. The change would require so much work I'm getting a headache already

@ Jerry-
I found this online->
Convert bash to phython ___> 
It should be fairly simple to convert your program. The only tricky part will be running the db2 command and (maybe) refactoring reads.py so that it can be called as a library function.
    Setting local variables is the same.
    Replace echo with print.
    Replace your loop with for r in range(runs):.
    Get the date with the datetime module.
    Replace write to file with the file objects module.
    Replace the call to db2 with the subprocess module.
    You'll need to import reads.py to use as a library (or you can use subprocess).

Convert zenity to python- i found this- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-zenity/0.1

I know this could be some work, and lots of time. but it could be outsourced. I could try doing it myself, but I am a novice programmer in C++ and Ruby. So i'm not sure I can, but would love to try it! If LL tools across the board have the same theme/look - that would be nice. I don't mind it being different now between the tools however, but it is a very good idea.
Maybe Eclipse IDE can do everything needed ?
