Hi Ian,

Just downloaded a theme to have a look. The font size, type and colour 
information are all stored in a simple XML file Gnome.xml so it should 
be easy to make a high contrast version.

I'm forwarding this to the Ubuntu Art Team list in case anyone there 
wants to take a crack at it :) Otherwise I'll have a go myself in a few 
days.
