My suggestion is: TProxyPainter (Stellvertreter-Maler).
Ah yes, another one: TPainterDelegate (Zeichendelegat).

I would go for:
TjgStyle
or
TjgStyler
or
TjgStyledPaint
The "jg" of course stands for Jens Gruschel.
Kind regards,
Nils

I have a component that does the painting for some controls (the control's
Paint method simply calls a method of the "paint component"). So it's some
kind of theme I give to a control by assigning such a "paint component".
In
other words I can simply change the control's appearance (or look,
design...) by assigning MyControl.Appearance := MyAppearance.
How would you call the "paint component"?
TMyAppearance
TMyDesign
TMyFace
TMyLayout
TMyLook
TMyPainter
TMyTheme
TMyVisualization
???

Always give your components an identifier as Nils suggested. Then it
doesn't matter what you name it as long as your identifier is unique.
For instance, all of our internal components to our framework start
with Bss. All the dbExpress Plus components start with SQL (following
Borland's own naming convention for the technology).

Of course. The "My" in TMyPainter etc. was meant to be the "jg" Nils
suggested.
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I think "Painter" describes best what's
going on behind the scenes, so I decided to take it (although sometimes it
seems to be better to hide what's going on behind the scenes, and an
instance like "YellowTheme" sounds better than "YellowPainter").

He-he.. I was aware of such mis-reading 
that was why I did not write it as TUnderpainter
