Chrome Extension: Set both themes and defaults in single extension

Is it possible to set both chrome themes and chrome defaults (i.e. Default Homepage and Search engine) in single chrome extension?

No, since Themes are separate from Extensions (that have the functionality to override settings) - it cannot be one entity. As soon as you declare "theme" in the manifest, you can't add normal Extension keys.

An extension cannot cause other extensions (including themes) to be installed. I have briefly thought of using Shared Modules mechanism, but that doesn't allow the imported extension to operate normally - so an imported theme (if that was even possible, which I doubt) wouldn't work.

Additionally, there is no extension API to manipulate themes, and no setting override to configure a theme.
