Hi Jean-Marc,

I'm not thinking multiple themes so much as a theming system.  We could
save the list out as a text/xml file and then load an entire list of
colors in at once.

I agree, but sometimes the Qt themes are subtly wrong.  Case in point,
for the extended outline (the little pet project I've been working on)
in LyX-Outline on Mac, the selected text is far too dark.  It should use
a light blue color, instead it uses the dark blue of selected items.
It's really ugly.  It was bothering me so much that I went in and hard
coded the proper color.  I haven't seen the same problem on Linux or
Windows.

If we used system colors plus tweaks, it would allow us to both
customize and match the default values.  Having a system to load lists
of colors would allow for users to adjust colors and then save out the
list as they wanted.  It also probably wouldn't be a lot of work to
implement (yes, I know those are famous last words).

Not sure I follow you here, but it sounds interesting.  Could you
elaborate?

Cheers,
