Tooling to create themes?

[boredsquirrel]

Hey there!

Did you do the themes manually? I wonder if there is some tooling to create them, mainly to export the colors from the registrymodifications.xcu file

I made this, not sure if it fully works yet

Hi! Yes, I created it manually, but by cloning an existing theme and copying the custom theme xml from the saved theme in LibreOffice settings file (registrymodifications.xcu). It looks like you kind of did the same, but in a script.

I think you can use the macro enabled sheet from the zip attached here, made by Rafael.

ThemeCreator.zip

thanks! Yes, I think I understood it now and the script is pretty nice. It works interactively and (apart from replacing images) fully automatic.

If LO decides to store the themes in separate locations in the future, this would become way easier
