it's in the direction of kwrite or kdevelop, but here goes... :-))

Definitely. :-)

Eh... I think I would rather see game types, otherwise would this mean 
that I can't choose between several board layouts within one theme?

Command-line options for default game (i.e. board size) are probably 
good. For the theme this seems like it would annoy users who want to 
change it, I would rather do this with a default configuration file. Is 
that workable?
