To me a "theme" is a description of a style and a collection of some
images and maybe some text messages.

How dose a "theme" call a program!?!?!?  Don't tell me themes can
include code -- I don't want to hear about more yet more stuff that
includes code in places where code should never be....  :-(

that doesn't really help in the long run, does it?

besides, there are already lots of equivalent tools, no?  including one
that comes by default with every X11 install:  xsetroot.
