Would like UI style macros...for groups of changes

[hackvan]

certain changes really need to go together... so i'd like the app to help out with sensible sets of changes (while still allowing individual tweaks, of course)

example UI themes:
   default --> reset to defaults (move this from the toolbar to a theme)
   unity-11.10 --> go back to previous behavior, whatever that was
   touch-screen --> -overlay-scrollbars, -autofocus, -autohide, ...
   small-screen --> +autohide, +overlay-scrollbars, ...
   mouse-focus --> +autofocus, autoraise=3, -globalmenus

why necessary: I like autofocus and autoraise... they go together...and if i want them, then I pretty much have to disable global menus because autofocus can change the menu before i reach the top of the screen if i pass over another window.

Possible fixes would be: global menus only for maximized apps, or global menu ignores focus changes for buried windows...

But, as it happens, i can't disable global menus at all within unsettings (filed as another bug), so my workaround was to just remove the packages that do it... 'sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt'

Nice idea. I'l think about it.
