No, we don't :-)
To allow for full theming all the gui code needs to call into GSTheme
for any drawing, which we currently don't do. Richard Thematic
application is great for the gui controls that already use themes,
NSBUtton and now NSScroller, but wont help much for the rest. In gui we
have code that uses hard coded colours, sometimes even using the old PS
colour setting API. No way any sort of theme could handle this.
Themes are not just about having a nice bundle to define them, they are
about the structure of gui and this needs to be adopted. Then we are
really ready for people writing themes.
