Sprints
Whiteboard
Deprecate manual theme loading.
Refactor Theme type API to be more QML compliant:
- introduce warnings instead of errors
- introduce status code (Ready, Loading, Fail, Warning)
- manual theme loading through property
Provide automatic theme file identification for applications:
- application theme identified from the application ID - desktop file
- first lookup after theme file should be under ~/.config/
- second lookup after theme file under ~/.local/
- third lookup after theme file under /usr/share/
- if not found, fall back to the system theme
