Editing themes is not that complicated actually. There 2 main XML files to edit, the only time you need to edit more are for each individual system, so assuming that each system theme will look identical with maybe a different background image, there are basically 2 XML files to edit, then you just place them in the system folder and boom.
I’m not sure you want to waste your time on this to be honest, unless you plan on fully re-arranging the layout of the theme, then this will be no more useful than opening an XML file and editing a color value.
The problem really for theming is opposite of what you want, which is more variables. The more we had access to altering the better it would be for customizing our overall looks.
