I looked at the code of this theme and that seems quite nice. It also
shows that we have come a long way with themes, a lot is already
possible but there are still places where theme support in GNUstep is
limited. It should be possible to have themes for window decoration
without actually touching the code of NSWindow and
GSStandardDecorationView. If you have suggestions on how to improve
this, patches are welcome.
