Even more themes

What to do when you are bored at 1 am, and you see noone sending in new themes ? Make sure you can use more of the existing ones :)

I've never used BeTheme myself, but it seemed to have gained some fans. So hoping it would bring newer ideas I added some code to the Theme manager to import those themes. It currently supports background pictures, deskbar position and R5 decor. Icons aren't handled yet, but that will have to be done someday.

Some people might wonder what exactly this "themes" stuff in the commits is all about. So let's see how it all started, where we are and what's left to do.

Features

The Theme Manager is an addon-based desktop theme selector. It can selectively apply parts of a theme, create a new one based on the current configuration, add a screenshot to it.

Currently, themes contain settings for ui colors, system fonts, background pictures, window decorator, deskbar position, screensaver, Terminal colors, font and size, sounds, and even the selected winamp skin from CL-Amp and SoundPlay through a specific plugin.
