On the principle, agree, as that's what I'm working on :-)
In practice I'm doing my own set of "API", extending the current 
GSDrawFunctions.
The goal is to have everything in GSDrawFunctions.

But even now it's not very hard to have your own "programmed theme" in 
gnustep
(like http://www.roard.com/screenshots/screenshot_theme38.png) and 
thus, I'm
now working on a pixmap theme engine (which can reuse the same bitmaps
as ShapeShifter's themes..).

I'm making progress, here is what it looks like at the moment (work in 
progress, not all widgets
implemented, etc.):

I hope to release something soon now.

yep that could be good to check, although I think I'm starting to have 
a fairly good idea now :)
