Is there a way to specify a theme setting globally so that it
overrides the setting in the current theme, whichever theme that
happens to be? Like the OP, I want to set showcategorycolors to "no"
regardless of the theme. Another example is wrapstyle for buttonlists.
I consider wrapstyle more of a "behavior" setting than an "appearance"
setting, and I generally don't want behavior settings to change from
theme to theme.
