Title:
  Need to support theme customization via click package

Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  It would be nice for creative content developers to be able to
  distribute alternate themes via the Click store.  However, the current
  SDK theme uses QML files to theme components, and those files are able
  to read potentially sensitive information from an app and transmit
  them over the internet.  Since the theme code is run in-process with
  the app, there's no way to separately confine it.

  What we could provide, however, is the ability to define just the
  color scheme used (and possibly other purely visual info, such as
  icons), in a file that could be read by the theme's QML, but that
  would not contain any executable code itself.
