+1 I am all for extra themes. My only concern is the size, at some point,
we might consider, making an "extra" package, like with languages.
Yes, I will have a look at the size. That's the background for ckecing
this first...
Hopefully, it's not getting too much extra. Still, we will need to
weight between more size and usefulness. We need numbers first...

Hi List,
I took a closer look at Symphony's checked in ressources concerning the
gallery. There are quite some nice and useful additional themes there we
(and our users) should benefit from. Thus, I propose (and volunteer :-) to
integrate these to the trunk. Please have a look at a current Symphony
version or look at the provides symphony sourcecode to get an impression
(it's in main/extras/source/gallery). The added themes are:
arrows
bullets
computers
diagrams
education
environment
finance
gallery_sound
gallery_system
people
sounds
symbols
transportation
txtshapes
The currently existing themes in trunk are:
bullets
gallery_sound
gallery_system
htmpexpo
rulers
sounds
ww-back
www-graf
Where bullets, gallery_sound, gallery_system and sounds are double. I
propose to just merge the contents. (gallery_sound and gallery_system are
hidden, internal themes). For info: ww-back and www-graf are also hidden
themes which are used in Writer's www export.
I think these themes are useful for a wide variety of users and I will try
to just merge them smoothly to have these available.
All contents are in png format (not yet svg) with transparencies and offer
quite some useful stuff. We should have them in that format for now,
conversion to SVG is not realistic due to many contained gradients. For
adding future themes I propose to use svg, but for now we should use what
we have. Same is true for evtl. later add online data access for the
gallery for clipart libraries (which support svg). But one step after the
other...
I'm currently inverstigating on the issue (wrote #121407# for it, see
there) and will report how much size it would add to download packages.
Suggestions welcome!
Sincerely,
Armin
