I like the idea in general but I am slightly concerned what impact
something like this might have on performance?
I would be interested to hear from someone in the know?

I would maybe think this could be a Radiance replacement, rather than
an additional theme.

 Absolutely. I actually stated that in the original remit. As much as
 possible, the user's options should be kept open.

 Unlike the current implementation of chameleonic launcher and notifications,
 though, (due to a bug), it should be optional. :P

 The GNOME 'representative colour' recognizer seems to have an inexplicable
 fondness for finding the single pixel of brown in a wallpaper and picking
 that as the launcher colour.

 I would definitely like to see this land in Quantel. Great idea!

 Yes, I agree with you. It should be optional. The current Ubuntu light
 themes should be an option (maybe default, with chameleon theme an option in
 System Settings ->  Appearance.
