I know this is nice to have, but a color scheme consists of more than just
one color. Usually there are at least three different "scheme" colors, and
some others, like greys, that are chosen to match the lightness of the scheme.
However, I'm not a designer, so if one corrects me here..

I agree. This is why I want to see more themes being created and used :)

I want to make themes safe, so that no arbitrary Python code can be
executed when you download and use a new theme (otherwise you'd have to
unpack the zip file, look into the conf file etc...). (The templates
run sandboxed, so this is safe barring bugs in Jinja.)
