Description Eyal Rozenberg 2025-08-22 17:53:42 UTC 
I'm using an LO 26.2 nightly, and invoking it with `libreofficedev26.2 --help`. Instead of just getting the usage info, I am met what a whole bunch of console noise, regarding "unknown properties" in the Ocean Blue theme. Now, the fact that we even get those has to do with bug 167977, but that's not my complaint. The thing is, that themes should not at all be parsed just in order to print the usage information. In fact, very little work - perhaps no work - should be carried out.
