[Libreoffice-ux-advise] Fwd: Theme colors

It seems like Calligra will be working on integrating themes.
Would anyone in LibreOffice like to work with them?

Hi Mirek,
Thanks for your interest. The code for Themes has not landed in
Calligra only because of not-the-highest-priority but since then I
heard encouraging comments and no disagreement so we shall finally
have them. If this fits LibreOffice plans we can co-develop the
design/specifications so we'll be compatible (e.g. we can share theme
files and properly embed them in documents/templates, staying
backward-compatible with not-theme-aware software). In addition to
defining some extensions to ODF, the specs would be in large part
related to behaviour of the applications. I also hope some relevant
functional/unit tests could be shared.

As a first step I propose a common wiki page (is there neutral one or
would you accept Calligra Wiki?)

Coincidentally we have another Calligra Sprint this weekend :)
