don't they come out of the box? if not can they? IMO they should be the default settings when you install this theme?

The way themes work in Notepad++ is we place the theme (.xml file) in the appropriate directory and we select the theme from the settings. There is no setup involved, hence we can't change settings such as caret width etc. We could provide users the file which stores all such settings (not sure if such a config file exists), but then people would loose their own settings when they replace their config file with the one we provide. Also these settings are completely optional and not everyone would want to use them.

Maybe a setup script to place these in the right directory while also making a back and reset to default if the user wishes to reset to default?

Using a script for this should be doable. But asking people to run a script they found on the internet doesn't seem ideal. A plugin maybe, which would install the theme, have options to turn on recommended settings, restore old settings, etc. and even keep the theme updated by pulling the latest changes via GitHub.

Github might be fine for now, ideally would want a release system.
