Description
The #600 PR changed how themes work, mostly for the better. However, it does lose the ability to declare a variable, ex background and then use that as the value for various parts of the UI. I think it would be likely useful to reintroduce this, and show it in the UI so that theme-authors can have variables that let the user customize a good portion of the UI (and if the user wants something other than the variable, they just change it).

Research direction
Start by reviewing PR #600 to understand the current theme model and how the editor UI consumes theme values. Define how theme authors declare reusable variables and how users customize them in the UI; done means variables can be reused across UI parts without preventing individual overrides.
