Is it worth the hassle creating your own APEX theme from scratch?

YourNameHereMay 29 2012 — edited May 29 2012
Hi,
I am developing an application which will be delivered on a touchscreen device, and wil be used with people wearing protective gloves. For this reason I want it to be very simplistic in design, nice large buttons, big text etc. Whilst I could go messing around with one of the seeded themes, I think it might be easier to just write one from scratch. I won't be using all the fancy components, probably just basic ones however what I want to know is - is it really woth the hassle? Or will it just involve too much headache when upgrading, new components being introduced within APEX etc? Will it limit what we can do in the future too much?
Just looking for advice from anyone who has written their own theme really. Did you have to stick within some specific guidelines/standards within APEX (to allow switching themes to be seamless)/

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
