Description
When trying a new theme, you always have to edit the theme settings so that the theme won't look completely ridiculous on the previous theme's settings. All themes basically need some kind of customizations to make the theme work somehow. But these settings wont work in another theme. e.g.
Theme 1: Front page: static
Theme 2: Front page: blog
Theme 3: Custom front page
When switching these themes and trying what would be the best, I always end up changing of that front page setting. And that has to be done along every single theme change. It would be a great usability improvement, even if such as the only front page conf file would exist.
Other considerations: Menu conf (what kind of menu works best for this theme), Post conf (summary or full text), Title/logo, tagline, date format...
Most of the conf targets can be extracted from the Settings section and are pretty easily recognizable
Could be implemented like this: "Save these reading settings to currently selected theme" (radios for what should be saved: front page, summary/full text... etc.)
