Re: [libreoffice-design] Take inspiration from Lotus Symphony ?

My only concern when asking this question is the implementation of any kind
of a graphical look and feel - layouts would be the same across platforms,
but should the look and feel (things such as the coloring/graphics of the
application) apply the user's system theme or whether the coloring and
graphical feel of LibreOffice should be the same across all platforms in
addition to the layout or if the layout should merely implement the user's
native look and allow the system to apply whatever its theme is.

Yours Truly,
