If you really wanna make the menus themeable, make them scriptible with lua.

Could this make thing like fading bunttons in and out?
I mean: When you click on a small bar, that the widget you click on come visible over a bigger part of the screen?
Or other thing like hovering making things visible?
For an example: download http://xmoto.sourceforge.net/ 0.2 and see the "stats" bar on your right
Not all of this features should be included in the first skinnable version of VDrift , but it would be nice to have them in one version

Example:
A minimalistic skin has a practice page where you select your car/track on one page without many details of them.
A more exteneded skin has a practice page where you sleect your car/track on a separate page with many details.
The bloated skin  has a practice page where you could select your
track/car on the pracitce screen itself and on a separeta page.
This is only an example and I guess there are more things possible
with scripted skins. (Possibilities are endless)
I need to say that this shouldn't be a priority. But whenever you are rewriting the gui mode think of this again (I think it needs a cleanup anyway, so ...).
BTW: I'm not a good c++ programmer, I havent any experience with GUI's neither with lua.

Hmm, ok, but some more advanced things
like, hmmm, thinking....
If you select network server 192.whatever (LAN) it doesn't show anything. and when you select 217.whatever (internet) it shows "You are going to run VDrift over the internet, this can cause great lags." or something.

Humm, I won't make anything to the menus yet, I will let you work on the menu system first, I am now working on the cars, I made a compeletly new "refmap" for reflections, changed 3 sounds, the drift sound, the crash sound and the M3 engine. Sounds much better to me  , I am working on the hud and after the hud I will make a parking lot.
