GSoC: Libreoffice Theme (week - 1 update)

[Sahil Gautam]

@Michael made a vaild point.

Haven't played around with the ColorConfig
much, (slow PC reasons), but this week I will go  through that.
Things will be more clear then.

This is my take on it now.
- Read the colors from the widget toolkits and store it somewhere.
   The entries in the `Color 
ColorConfig::GetDefaultColor(ColorConfigEntry eEntry)`
   are hard-coded, can be created on startup instead. Something like 
having a vector
   of structs with the default color values for different ENUMs 
associated to
   UI elements.

- Then the colors in the StyleSettings can be initialized based on theme 
selection.
   If it's "System Theme", then the colors saved in the point above can 
be used to
   initialize the StyleSettings. If it's some custom theme (extension), 
then the
   colors should be read from the expert configuration instead.
