Given your assumption - very ! (in my opinion)
Reaper themes are defined using WALTER - a powerful, flexible definition languages, covering positions, dynamic resizing, conditional displays ...
To get an idea, have a look thorugh the WALTER Guide, downloadable from here:
http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=69767
Here's an example of WALTER, from the Guide:
Code:
clear tcp.*
set tcp.size [258 72]
set tcp.trackidx [1 3 20 16 0 0 0 0]
set tcp.foldercomp [2 3 20 20 0 0 0 0]
;meter, recmon, recmode row
set tcp.meter h>=66 [66 46 188 20 0 0 1 0] [0]
set tcp.recmon h>=66 [24 47 20 20 0 0 0 0] [0]
set tcp.recmode h>=66 [44 47 20 20 0 0 0 0] [0]
It sets the relative positions (the first 4 numbers in the [ ... ]) and absolute sizes (the second 4 numbers in the [ ... ]) for 5 display elements and only displays the last 3 if the TCP height is > 66 pixels.

Ok, I can see that for a big reconfigure, that would be a pain, but, let's say that all you want to do, is move the track names, from the bottom of your mixer, to right beneath your icon, would that be easy enough?
I'm just going to assume that making tcp meters horizontal would be asking too much.

Yes, you can move the name to the top but then you'll need to move everything-else downwards to make room for it.
By contrast horizontal TCP meters is relatively easy, but you'll still need to make room for it.
Find a theme with the layouts you want and take it apart to see how it's done. You could be very brave and put your preferred image files into the theme, see what it looks like then start fixing the image size and position definitions. THat's how I started.
