Hi Regina 

I think you know best how to make the gallery elements. I think there are the
following options

1. have .png shapes for each gallery item (like it is now)
   not good, cause you can't edit the shapes

2. have .svg shapes for each gallery item
   a bit better than 1 but it's no native solution

3. draw shapes with LibO Draw and store shape groups as gallery item
   .sdg .sdv .thm files were generated
   you can change everything (area line color, all points, line width, ...)
   only problem you can't edit them in an text editor

4. make new custom shapes
   https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Create_a_New_Custom_Shape_in_Source_in_File
   I don't know how it work (but I can learn)

Regina, what would be the best solution to make gallery shapes? I would
recommend to work with gallery cause LibO has already the functionality and
extension is also possible so if we have to much shapes we "only" need an
additional hirarchy and the codebase is done.
