I was more specifically wondering about each theme author methodology and preferences, how they put the tools available to use.
A few tips about color (pickers):
• the developer tools has Pixie (under Graphics Tools), it's a lens, and you can lock the view (cmd-L) and drag colors out from a locked view (onto a color picker or color wedge)
• when you have a color picker open, you can drag any of the color wedges onto it, to copy the color from the dragged wedge
• the color pickers have a user palette in the bottom to where you can drag colors, so e.g. for my Amiga theme, I started by dragging the colors I needed (from Pixie) to that row, and could then just select for the misc. items
• when dragging a color from another application (e.g. Pixie) and TM is not active (thus the color picker is hidden) you can cmd- tab to activate TM, while holding down the mouse (to hold on to the color you are dragging)
• the user palette in the bottom of the color picker is global, so you don't have to set up the colors you want to use in TM
