Vector UI Graphics
Is it possible to create our own vector UI graphics for Max5? Ideally, I'd be able to change colors and such for them via the Inspector, but that's not a necessity.

Look at JSUI...

Honestly JSUI looks like a big pain in the butt. :P
I was thinking more along the lines of loading a standard vector file (eps, AI, SVG?).
In your creation program, you'd set each shape's name, and then in max's inspector you could change the colors for each shape.
Things like slider elements would have special names, like 'Slider_Knob' and 'Slider_Background,' while buttons would have 'Button_click' and 'Button_Inactive' and such.
Eh, maybe someday I'll polish up my C enough to try and make something. For now it's not overly necessary.

You can load svg files with fpic for instance.

hi,
actually, it would be great that Max executes the script embedded in the
svg.. could make great UI...

This sounds like pictslider and pictctrl, (though without open GL... ;-)
You would have to live with a fixed source of light, which is a good
idea in UI design anyway (in pictctrl you get away with that problem by
creating a lot of picts, which might not be what you're after... ;-)
