Shameless plug...
I've done something alike loooong ago, even tough it was never really
finished. It was using ugly hacks at the time to hook into libbe, but it

Source has been there for quite a while. You can use it under MIT license.

Been there, done that...
There *is* a theme engine already for Haiku, which I've moved out of svn

http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/thememanager
And yes, it's opensource, and you can send a patch !
I can't guarantee being able to apply it since osdrawer is still in bad
shape though. I'm not even sure it currently builds.

nobody notice it now :D
