[Scripting] Modifying default UI

I was wondering if it is possible via addons to modify the defaults UI frames without having to create my own frames. I am not talking about moving or resizing them. I mean modify either the look or the different element of them. For example, to change the color of the hp bar or to make the mana bar wider, but not longer.

Sure, but why would you want to?

@HighFive: Because I like the default UI look and I also like to improve my scripting skills. So I from time to time script an addon (I made my own dps/heal/threat meter for example)
@ddoz: I will script it myself :P I just need some point out to what to modify because I am not much skilled into XML as i would like to
@Alundrei:
V is for Vampire
Totally unrelated, but I didnt have anything to reply @ you since you figured it out... but it still good music, so enjoy

Fair enough. You should start by digging in Blizzard's code to see how they did it. Also, unless you're PS/Gimp/w-e savvy, you better start learning as, editing the default frames' size without screwing the texture up would be nigh impossible without redoing the texture itself. I'm pretty sure it resides in Interface\PlayerFrame in one mpq or another.
Another thing, I highly suggest redoing the frames, rather than editing the default ones (you can still easily get them to look the same).
