Two-years plan
* Provide unified UI theming appearance for all platforms, at least for Windows
and macOS

* Introduce theming as known from iOS
  + example at vcl/uiconfig/theme_definitions/ios/
  + not yet finished on desktop
* Outsource content and make it available via "tight integration"
* Polish Notebookbars, clean-up variants
  + unclear how to proceed with Glade based NB configurations
* Retire PNG variants of icons
* SmartArt
  + script language, editor, templates
Quikee:
"I think it is a waste of the developer resources to redesign the user interface
every fifth year, when the fashion changes. What did work very well in the past,
is the add-on system of Firefox. I would like to see something similar in
LibreOffice."

GSoC projects for 2021
* Keyboard/Shortcut workflow
  + maybe like
https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/fundamentals/shortcuts.html
* HUD-/Spotlight-like feature
  + also similar to KRunner https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Krunner
  + request in tdf#91874

Tender work on SVG
  + replacement of svgio
  + fix issues with renderer
  + involve QA
