It would be a bit difficult... (How difficult is for you to explain  
why you need this feature and can't live with two or three GNU Emacs  
running on your system? Is your system a restricted mobile phone or  
such?)

You need food and water to work, GNU Emacs needs library functions to  
work. You can live from dead animals and dead plants, no way for you  
to live from solar energy, electricity, ionising radiation, mineral  
oil and natural gas (like a bivalent car), methane, hydrogen, sulfur  
compounds.

GNU Emacs can live from GNOME/GTK, X11/Xaw3d, GNUStep/OPENSTEP,  
"Aqua," "Carbon," AppKit, Motif... It should work to integrate an  
abstraction layer to help decide which library function of the same  
API name, which Look And Feel is to be used. And modern computers  
have large disks and vast memory, a 1 GB GNU Emacs should work in  
such an environment.


It's also possible that in a world of multi-core CPUs once a GNU  
Emacs service will run on a dedicated core offering this or that Look  
And Feel.

None.
They just redefine "dark" as the new standard.
