I've experimented with stylesheets and themes. My conclusion is that the stylesheet 
is theme-dependant. One solution I found was to write a stylesheet with placeholders 
for colours and replace those placeholder with elementes from the theme. It's not 
really complete (just serves my purpose), but probably worth looking at. Maybe also 
worth considering adding something like this to Plasma::Theme.

Observations:

- not all widgets understand all features of stylesheets (Plasma::Label doesn't 
  respect the link colours, for example, webkit does). As a result, it might or might 
  now work in the UI.

- the ability to just edit the stylesheet and see results immediately. (In 
  stylesheet.cpp, I'm watching the css file for changes and update the UI 
  accordingly.) Makes for a better nice workflow with short feedback cycles compared 
  to editing the look in the .cpp file, or reloading the plasmoid manually.

Code is at http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeplasma-
addons/applets/opendesktop/stylesheet.cpp?view=markup (remove the linebreak).

Thoughts?
