Re: [libreoffice-design] Design task: LibreOffice Motif

There's a spray can tool in Inkscape that allows you to paint a pattern
composed of a vector shape. You can change the parameters to randomize
placement, scale, rotation, etc. Using one shiny new green-gadient triangle
as the original pattern, it's actually quite simple to reproduce the scatter
pattern. The only thing it doesn't do is randomize the alpha, though the
original pattern shape can use a gradient with transparency values.  Using
shapes with different overall alpha values could get us what we want.

I can try a couple things, but it won't be until tomorrow morning (eastern
US time).
