* Make LibreOffice design unique (Thibaut)
+ Ticket: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106756
+ Previously mentioned in as 'Application Theme' GSoC project
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J_aogLuQThqhvT0R2em27Vpew-SLAQgpH5TbNTgXPZM/edit
+ would be the solution to swtich from themed to "default"
+ generic theme update makes much sense, but that needs dev work as it is hard-coded (kendy)
(SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen ./soffice to enable
or SAL_NO_NWF=1 to still use the detected vclplugin but no native theming)
+ only way to introduce a new generic design is to make it working in parallel first
+ themes might be text based on Gtk (Jay); Gtk3 uses CSS for theming (Tomaz)
+ someone with development skills needs to look into the topic
+ wish to have all themes via CSS, or the like (Heiko)
* Color
+ New default color palette https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87538
+ survey done, analyzed and comment included into the final layout
+ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/173uYSPE1TPaZdCL997YyQLllRt2xBIV4oD5M3Bjo7yU
+ finalization planned for the weekend
+ We have 1 grey scale, 1 basic colors, 3 light, and 4 dark now -> should we change to
8 rows by default (and have 1/1/3/3)? (Jay)
+ No idea why it's bad (Thibaut)
+ tonal.soc has 10 rows so better add one (1/1/4/4)?
+ having less colors is good was commented in the survey
=> go with 10 rows (https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/35902/)
+ Extension to export the custom palette done and blogged about
+
