Specific changes you want that you can't do with themes?

I am not going to list all the 25-30 changes I made there to ask if
something can be really done via a simple theme, or via real C code, or via
GTK+ changes. I do not program for GTK+ so I am not very familiar with it.
For example, can you via a simple theme, to make the File/Edit/Help menu
showing in the shot, have the same color as the buttons and the rest of the
widgets, and have these 4 pixels off in its corners, making it look like an
individual view?
Honestly, I am more familiar with the Qt themes and code, and I know for
example, that to change the border colors of each system widget you want you
need to write serious code, and you can't even change the color of the
non-selected tabs (QT decides for its color, based on the color of the
selected tab). Except if you are using bitmaps of course, which is  not
something I would like to use...

The problem with the above is that basically everything gets sticky unless someone comes up with a theme format. A couple of threads ago I talked about this; everything else is just a hack.
