This is a solid gold idea.
I think it should be possible to include any FormUI type, i.e. radio
buttons, check boxes, and dropdowns.
I also think the idea of loading the CSS via a PHP file by default
with any variables being replaced by their option values, or being
removed, will add a great deal of flexibility without needing any PHP
by the themer. For example: color: [[option1:#fff]]; would be replaced
by whatever was in $theme->get_option('option1'), or by the default
which is colon separated if there is nothing in the option.
