... in favor of fully customize ui elemenets with css variables.

We only actively use/maintain/recommend one theme in JQueryPlugin called foswiki. It is the only one with a neutral enough look and feel not to drop out of the rest of the web design like the other 3rd party themes we bundle with JQueryPlugin. The foswiki jQuery theme is currently moved towards using CSS variables thus allowing skins finer control of the overal design. The idea is to replace all hard-coded color codes with css variables. We mostly aim at colors not so much other css properties. The foswiki theme should be enabled by default as it is now. The other 3rd party themes should be deprecated or even be removed from JQueryPlugin very soon. With it goes the need for a %JQTHEME macro which most probably was a bad idead right from the start anyway.
