Theme system #334

Description

@teunbrand

This is just an issue to keep track of the notion that we need a theme system.
We've yet to crystallise a nice syntax for this.

To write down a few thoughts we've not yet commited to:

  • Potentially we could have a file-backed theme system, wherein the theme is defined by a brand.yml-like file (hence tagging reader).
  • A lesson from ggplot2 is that a monolithic theme is a recipe for chaos. I'd be better to have granular bits of theme for particular components.
