You can customize everything in Synchronet, there are some boards that look quite unique. I'd check out Electronic Chicken BBS, eC is the guy that redesigned the web front end (called webv4), his board uses windows and layered ansi, it's pretty impressive.

I think a lot of synchronet systems look default (mine included) because sometimes you just want to run a board and don't have so much time for all that. I like to focus on door stuff, I'm specifically trying to get a lot of interactive fiction stories going (think Infocom, Zork, Colossal Caves, etc), and I am a huge Roguelike nut. In my spare time I do D&D so I recently moved my windows system over to Ubuntu (Linux) and I have a FoundryVTT server running for game night.

the Synchronet community is pretty active, tune into DoveNet for more answers to your questions.
