I dream of this super theme with extensive configuration capabilities.
It would be a theme AND an admin module actually, and it would work like a theme generator. You would have color-schemes, layouts, content areas etc.
For instance you would have a configuration of the color-scheme or palette, which would give you a number of choices: select a predefined (ten schemes provided with the theme default), download a shared scheme (via an xml-feed?) from a theme provider site, create your own interactively (perhaps like this: http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html), and perhaps then share them. (Ajax anyone?)
You would have an area in which to layout blocks of content interactively by adding, dragging and dropping (colored) squares in a screen area simulating the browser window. When clicking on a square you would be prompted to ad content - a node, a node type, a taxonomy term etc. These layouts could be shared too - via xml, and there would be a few (10) presets in the default super theme, and you could run a service providing your own layout templates.
There would be no practical limits to where you could put what content, and it would be possible to define areas on your site with a certain layout.
Is anybody else dreaming of such a super theme? I think there could even be a business model in this? I know Drupal is capable of doing some of this. I just think all Drupal users should have a "theme generator" module, and I'd like it to be interactive and Ajax'ed somehow.
