Note that Wykkyd initially listed his framework as a require but since moved to embedded because it was unworkable. If Minion pulled dependencies automatically (already stated as a long-term goal)
As far as if it's still a library: that can be a bit loose with GUI and themes. See GTK+ for example.
Currently a separate addon could overwrite controls but not the settings menu. LAM could be refactored a bit to put the overall panel as a 'control' (in effect) to make it easily replaceable. That would allow external themes an entry to change the look of the overall menu.
As far as themes go, the easy way to switch between would be to only enable the addon for the theme wanted. Only one theme could be activated at a time, though. A theme manager could be implemented (again as a separate addon) and themes would register there instead of overriding LAM directly. I think this would be a bit overengineered, but it is an option.
Summary: default UI changes, add fixes, perhaps refactor the settings menu to be managed similarly to controls. Leave all theming as separate addons and no SavedVars from LAM itself.
