I don't know if there are already these things already (I did a bit of searching, but couldn't really uncover anything), but it would be awesome if you there were desktop themes who would be recolored based on your system colors.

So, I might make an SVG theme that is desaturated that includes a special theme file that would determine how it would be recolored based on the system colors. So, if I chose my system theme as a greenish one, my entire desktop could be recolored based on that choice. Right now, if I wanted a theme that matched my color, I would go to GHNS to find one that might match, but, it wouldn't look quite the same as air, or oxygen.

Anyways, it might be really easy to do because many of the themes out there are svg themes, and it would probably pretty easy to assign new color values to those and save them as a temporary colored theme (for quicker rendering).

My mock-up may not be too cool, but the idea is still good I think.

There are already themes that support this. Just read the theme descriptions, if they support system colors they will say so.

This has been supported since 4.1 or 4.2 (I'm not sure) - too see an example of a theme that uses system colours, see Aya.

Ah, thanks for the info guys!
