Allow standard layout to be used/edited as a starting point for canvas

Hello,
I would really love to improve the look of our CRM interface using Canvas but we have spent so much time customising the screens already (in standard view) that the thought of starting from scratch and building everything again, field by field, in Canvas is too daunting.

It would be so good if I could just copy over the layout we have now with all the fields and then use Canvas to make it visually more appealing. For example, just adding a coloured background to each module so users can see where they are more easily, changing the menu to tabs, altering the font of headings etc.

Is there any chance at all that this will be enabled? It seems like such an obvious starting point for most users but I can't see any way of doing it at the moment.
