I basically agree, though I have a UI concern -- having a button in the 
prefs dialog which leads you to a web page is a bit strange since, while 
the dialog box isn't modal, I bet most users don't realize that. Would 
the button pop up a new browser window? (In front of the dialog?) Or 
would it open a new tab in some window in the background? (I kind of 
hate the way apps open links in browsers, since you can never tell which 
window/tab/space[*] the page is going to end up in. I'd hate to see 
Chromium do that to itself.)

[*] on a Mac; "virtual desktop" on some other platforms.

(For those who think changing themes should be online only, I disagree: 
you're not always online, e.g., on an airplane, yet you may want to 
switch themes -- e.g., maybe you need a "high-visibility" theme due to 
lighting conditions.)
