Sorry, I have been looking into manual about themes and custom.el; sure
theme can do anything so I understand it now :-).
"Custom themes are collections of settings that can be enabled or
disabled as a unit. You can use Custom themes to switch easily between
various collections of settings, and to transfer such collections from
one computer to another. "
".... loading a Custom theme can execute arbitrary Lisp code ..."
"To apply the choice of theme(s) to future Emacs sessions, type C-x C-s
(custom-theme-save) or use the ‘[Save Theme Settings]’ button."
So indeed it can be used for anything. Though I would rather call
such theme for a "mode" but that would be really a confusion since Emacs
modes are different things.
