Constants aren't modifiable at run time (well, you aren't supposed to
modify them). I was thinking of a scheme whereby you could simply modify
the current theme and have all subclassed widgets pick up on that. A
shared access method to an entirely separate Theme object might do it,
but I still think @@variables are the elegant solution in this case.
