The winlist at least should be changed too. To push it to the limits it
would also be nice if the zharf (though I don't use it), ident, and maybe
also the forms could be changed from within a theme. That would make it
more easy to write themes for 8bpp displays, because not one color cell
would be wasted. 
The database will get a bit hairy I think, but would fit good into a
theme, because of the icon definitions.
