(Sure I can download a module and look for myself but...)
Yes, that would be the easiest way to do
Basically, we are standardizing on the approach done by the TDM Team in their modules, and how the TDMCreate module creates new modules. There was also ideas/code from Kris and Mojtaba.
It's more about standardization than about brand new approach to Module Admin GUI.
One of the things that we're using is:
$modversion['system_menu'] = 1;
so the menus are generated automatically by XOOPS.
I'll try to put guidelines on how to convert an existing module to the new GUI. It's actually not that difficult.
Below you can see some screenshots:

As you can see, all of them look similar, so the first time user will have easier to find his way around here. We are also looking at standardizing About and Help pages:
About:
Here the data will be taken automatically from xoops_version.php, and from "changelog.txt" files that are already in the system.
Help:
Of course, we hope to get some feedback from people about it
Regarding icons, we'll be using mainly Crystal icons. Once we're done with this current "Module Refresh" I'll merge the icons with the standard descriptions (e.g. Edit, Delete, Copy, Permissions, etc.)
This is still work in progress...
