Improving themes

One of the greatest things I like about Spotfire is how easily you can assign and use of colors, and export/import using a .dxpcolor file. 

On the themes side I find it could be improved

  • You have an "import theme from file" but no "export to file" which is a bit strange. My understanding is that you can import from a DXP  (but then it contains not just the theme info but the rest of the DXP too) so I think it would be better to have a .dxptheme (like .dxpcolor) export format with *just* the theming info. IT would make it easier to have a collection of themes you can share and use.
  • The theme editing popup deserves revisiting
    • you don't really see the impact of your changes before you actually do the change
    • there could be more help to pick up colors that match together
  • There could be a set of available themes by default to choose from (like you do on a Mac for example)
    • so when you start a visualisation you could start from template theme (like you do in Word)
  • Also theming of HTML, and HTML editing experience in general could be improved
