The new Tools -> Options -> Appearance panel offers LO themes via the Extension manager. Currently "Light Application Colors" and "Lime Theme". Neither is installed by default at installation and defaults is to "Automatic" with 'COLOR_SCHEME_LIBREOFFICE_AUTOMATIC' recorded to registrymodification.xcu in profile. When either extension is installed from the Appearance panel via 'Extension: Color Themes' filter, the .OXT is added to user profile in the user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages directory. The Appearance panel extension manager offers a 'Remove' button, but that only pulls the The color theme can be removed from UI with the 'Remove' button. But it leaves the extension still in the users uno_packages cache. It just records a "remove" stanza to the profile .xcu. <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.UI/ColorScheme/ColorSchemes"><node oor:name="Lime Theme" oor:op="remove"/></item> Revisit to the 'Extension: Color Themes' manager panel shows the extension as installed! But there is no ability in UI to restore the color theme. It is a little confusing to have removed the extension, but on next visit to the manager it shows as installed. User currently must edit the registrymodifications.xcu to delete the color theme's 'remove' stanza which then restores the theme to the UI. While if actual removal of the .OXT is desired/needed, user must manually delete the appropriate extension from the uno_packages directory of their profile. Would expect smoother UX to manage the color themes, more in line with other .OXT extensions where the manager panel handles the uninstall. Is there some reason for the color themes to persist per user that we're trying/need to protect them?

The plan is to integrate the extension manager with the appearance dialog so that we directly deal with the extensions rather than the registry entry added by the extension. Integration with the Extension Manager would also mean that we can access the extension's thumbnail image and other information ==> a graphical window with nice theme previews. But that would take quite some time, atleast not in the next two months.
