Basically my issue is that styles inherit from inside a particular editor, not from other editors or a base set of colors. I suppose my preferred solution would be for there to be a 'palette' where one could chose X foreground colors and Y background colors, and then have each editor inherit colors from the palette as opposed to using internally defined colors. But that would probably be quite an invasive change, thus the external 'theme generator' idea.
