Since LO 4.0.x uses the Persona design specifications that were defined by Firefox's Persona extension/theme system, and currently users of LO 4.0.x goes to Firefox's gallery to choose Persona designs, I was wondering if LO should not have its own design gallery page?
We have users creating LO themed Persona designs. They submit them to the FF gallery posting system. Why not have a gallery of Persona designs that were specifically designed as themes for LibreOffice? We have a Extension Center and a Template Center. These are for "displaying" the extensions and templates users have developed and submitted to LO to allow other users to have access to them. Why not have a place like that where users can submit Persona design themes that were created specifically for LibreOffice? Firefox Gallery was designed for Persona and theme designs that were created to their package. We use that Persona specification, but LibreOffice header menu is different from what is displayed for Firefox's header menu. What might look good for Firefox might not look good for LibreOffice, and vice-a-versa.
So, would it be a good idea to have a design gallery of Persona designs specifically created to look well with LibreOffice's header/footer menu design?
Could we make it like the submission process for adding a extension to its center? Of course there will have to be some overseer for that submission process.
What I would do is develop the design and test it out on LO. Then take a screen shot of the design and what it looks like with with the menu options displayed with the design "in the background". Take that screen-shot for both the header and footer designs and make them one full window width image. Submit that image file [separate file] with the Persona design file[s] in an archive format of [say] .zip. There could be a "smaller" image submitted that would be displayed on the "gallery" showing what the design looks like with LibreOffice.
It would be nice to have a gallery of designs specifically created for LibreOffice and not having to see if a Persona designed for Firefox works well with LibreOffice.
