Adding all variables in their default values to the theme css would allow modifying them with plugins like ThemeSettings and generally would allow easily changing the theme in an editor.
I propose adding something like this:
:root {
/* App elements */
--app-bg: url(https://i.imgur.com/U8bSjj5.jpg); /* The background image for the entire Discord app. Default: url(https://i.imgur.com/U8bSjj5.jpg) */
--app-blur: 6px; /* The strength of the blur for every element that has one. Default: 6px */
--app-margin: 24px; /* The margin surrounding the content area. Default: 24px */
--app-radius: 8px; /* The border radius of the app and every element that has a border radius. Default: 8px */
--app-accent: #d73d3d; /* The app accent color. Default: #d73d3d */
--app-accent-rgb: 215,61,61; /* The rgb values of the app accent color. Default: 215,61,61 */
--app-accent-text: #000; /* The text color for buttons and other various elements with the accent background color. Default: #000 */
--sidebar-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4); /* The background color of the sidebars. Default: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4) */
--main-content-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.2); /* The background color of the main content areas. Default: rgba(0,0,0, 0.2) */
/* Messages */
--messages-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4); /* The background color for messages. Default: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4) */
--messages-radius: 8px; /* The border radius for messages. Default: 8px */
--mention-color: #d73d3d; /* The border and glow color for mentioned messages. Default: #d73d3d */
--mention-rgb: 215,61,61; /* The rgb values of the mention color. Default: 215,61,61 */
--mention-alt: #5274e9; /* The border and glow color for highlighted messages that aren't mentions. Default: #5274e9 */
/* Textareas and inputs */
--textarea-color: 0,0,0; /* The background color for any textareas and inputs. Default: 0,0,0 */
--textarea-text-color: #fff; /* The text color for textareas and inputs. Default: #fff */

--card-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4); /* The background color for cards. Default: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4) */
--card-color-hover: rgba(0,0,0, 0.5); /* The background color for hovering over cards (if there is a hover animation). Default: rgba(0,0,0, 0.5) */
--card-radius: 8px; /* The border radius for cards. Default: 8px */
/* Buttons */
--button-color: #d73d3d; /* The background color for most buttons. Default: #d73d3d */
--button-action-color: #000; /* The background color for hovering and clicking on buttons (has a lowered opacity). Default: #000 */
--button-text-color:#000; /* The text color for any buttons that use:; /*-button-color. Default: #000 */
--button-radius: 8px; /* The border radius for buttons. Default: 8px */
/* Popouts and modals */
--popout-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.55); /* The background color for modals/popouts. Default: rgba(0,0,0, 0.55) */
--popout-blur: 5px; /* The blur strength for modals/popouts. Default: 5px */
--popout-header-opacity: 0.3; /* The header opacity for modals/popouts. Default: 0.3 */

--popout-radius: 8px; /* The border radius for modals/popouts. Default: 8px */
--popout-shadow: 0 8px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0, 0.14); /* The shadow for modals/popouts. Default: 0 8px 10px 1px rgba(0,0,0, 0.14) */
}
of course, this might introduce a problem with auto-updating...
Added the variables that are easily edited to the theme file. It shouldn't cause any issues with auto updating since I only touch the source import file, and not the theme file itself.
