  Well, firstly we may be able to find a way to use gtk themes through a
Harmony 'adapter' theme. Secondly, how many themes are there likely to be?
Not a huge number. I'd say you'd probably get the following:

	Windows
	Mac
	Nextstep
	Motif 1.2
	Motif 2.0
	Pixmap-based

  We can write Harmony to understand whatever config files are used by the
pixmap-based theme, so it's just a matter of duplicating the others
(which as a stopgap could be temporarily emulated with pixmap themes in
any case). Duplicating a theme someone else has already written isn't
heavy work; it could be done within a week for the basic set of widgets I
should think.
