What concerns me is a quite different aspect. I think it's good if
they're more "modular", though only vaguely; I've never touched theme
codes. Anyway it will allow more flexible operation.

In my opinion all we need is (external-structure-ref 'module.foo
'binding.bar). A good alias will make it look concise. (If e-s-r is
compared to `set', structure-ref is `setq' and less useful for dynamic
use.) The module doc of librep is recently improved, so have a look
if you're interested.

Or something like class - virtual / interface may suffice. (I mean 
"methods" common to all themes.)

It's not necessary. Simply do `setq' in theme.jl.
And tab.jl has to change them from defcustom to defvar, or maybe it's
better to provide a new `tab-pixel-adjust' function, so that these
values are hidden from the tab.jl.

power, should rule.

Not limited to Chinese, though.
