The plain editor, the Java editor, the HTML editor, the CSS editor, the 
properties editor, etc.  But it's not the issue of ME setting this up, 
it's the problem of setting up themes in general.

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.
