It would be handy if a skin editor side project could be started. This could help users in creating custom skins and encourage skins submissions. As an example, opensource project Vlc is skinnable and it skins are XML-based. For this last, a skin editor program has been developed: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skineditor.html

This will be increasingly useful as touch screen support improves (see 1427026) as it would allow users to easily create their own virtual controller. It would also allow users to easily create skins to mirror the layout of their controller.

I think writing a WYSIWYG editor is way too much work to be feasible. However, if we switched our Skins to QML it might be possible to use Qt Creator: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-using-qt-quick-designer.html
