I will see what I can do.  Keeping it small is something I aim for.
I try to keep out language specific stuff from the editor, so that people must
set these things up via the configuration file. 
But I don't reject features because they span too many lines.

Yes its ugly.. I made the Theme dialogbox so I could make compose a new
theme in a hurry.. without really considering how to make it user-friendly.
At some point I will add support for using multiple fonts at the same time,
so that keywords can have a bold font.. while comments has an italic font.
This feature will make me rethink that dialogbox.

I will add this to my todolist, but I cannot promise a solution at the 
moment.. im too busy with my studies.

Thank you.. suggest for further improvements are warmly welcome.
