For instance, adding these vars to the current set:

would allow for huge themability options.
I know it looks like an overkill, but yesterday, playing with the "toy" color chooser, with colors/themes I never use, found that some of our "good defaults" are poor choices for completely different color schemes.
The good part is that with a detailed color vars set, a theme becomes a small set of integers. Quite easy to handle.
Okay, I'll add a bunch of prefs for us to experiment with.
Good. Attached goes some test code I used to test tab colors. HTH. FWIW, I get close to the traditional colors with: ui_fg_color=140040 ui_main_bg_color=c6c6c6 ui_text_bg_color=bfdabf ui_tab_active_color=87aca7 ui_tab_inactive_color=silver
Ideally yes. Now, it needs some care. For instance, the "toy" chooser changes ui background well, but doesn't update the colors of inactive buttons with the new backgrounds (which makes a huge difference with bluish backgrounds. e.g. ui_main_bg_color=0070c0).
Yeah, I'll put a little more time into the toy later. Background also needs to update the gray ramp so that box colors work better, for instance...
OK. -- Cheers Jorge.-
