The simple fact is that independent themes were not a matter of 
intentional choice, but merely a side effect of the design of the 
underlying code.  There were independent engines running the OSD and UI, 
so it made sense to have independent themes.  Now that there is a single 
engine driving both, it would be considerable extra effort to allow 
users to mix and match elements from multiple themes.  There is a way to 
do that, and that is by editing the theme XML to suit your needs.
