 I'd like to see a place to hook into right after the Admin Color Scheme
 chooser in `user-edit.php`. I want to be able to add a link there that
 says "''Add a New Color Scheme''" which will link to my plugin page. That
 would be '''very''' useful for my [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins
 /easy-admin-color-schemes/ Easy Admin Color Schemes plugin] I think.

 That is such a simple modification I think it would be easy to include in
 2.5.1.

 I could see it's potential to be useful for other things as well...

 Heck, maybe an even better idea would be to have a filter to allow
 complete customization of the Admin Color Scheme chooser area. Then, for
 example, you could completely replace the default Admin Color Scheme
 chooser with your own code. I can already think of a good way to use such
 a filter. For example, replace it with a customized list that has
 edit/delete links after each scheme which link to functionality in the
 plugin. Then you could do some basic scheme management right from the
 profile page.

 Even once the WordPress core gets scheme customization features there
 could still be plugins out there that wish to have their own way of
 customizing schemes and managing them. So a hook/filter like I describe
 would still be useful then.
