1) The out-of-the-boxer. This user just wants to set up a site and use the theme that's there. Maybe change the colours, but that's it. For this user, a very pretty eye-candy theme is great. Everything should be styled and it should just work with all browsers.
way ahead of you. I am in the process of developing a contrib module built exactly for this. The Istyledthis theme was built from the ground up to use this module : Before picking a new colour : http://www.oasismag.com/farb-1.jpg New colour picked, before submission, check preview : http://www.oasismag.com/farb-2.jpg After hitting change colour : http://www.oasismag.com/farb-3.jpg Colour schemes already mathematically generated for use in stylesheet templates : http://www.oasismag.com/farb-4.jpg Working on making it a more generic api that other themes can support, but it really does help a LOT that the theme was built for this.
