Responding to myself. Option 1 is the only one I was able to implement, mainly because the themes are loaded after the graphs. Anyway I changed the API a bit and added an Id which identifies the theme instead of the name, so several themes can actually have the same name. I still need to write a theme editor (as an external program). I attach a gnumeric file with a custom theme embedded (stupidely called "My Theme" which is the default theme except for GogChart (no outline) and for the backplane which is invisible by default (I might use this theme a lot in the future, but I should rename it to something more descriptive). You need the latest goffice git code to properly load this file.
