In my Presenty it was my conclusion: prototypes is a way to go.
So instead of

UITheme>>newGroupboxIn: aThemedMorph label: aString
        "Answer a groupbox with the given label."

        ^GroupboxMorph new
                font: self labelFont;
                cornerStyle: aThemedMorph preferredCornerStyle;
                hResizing: #spaceFill;
                vResizing: #spaceFill;
                label: aString;
                yourself

You can get

UITheme>>newGroupboxIn: aThemedMorph label: aString
        ^groupboxMorph veryDeepCopy
                label: aString;
                yourself

And of course you can make prototype morphs as settings and edit it in
SettingsBrowser.

In Presenty I gone very far with this idea
