Problems for *Var A*:
- The existing ColorThemes (from the ColorThemes space and
extensions.xwiki.org) will become deprecated for XE 3.4 since the new

+1 for Var A.
It looks way better than what we have right now and given the fact that
we
will be able to update the CSS once
linear-gradient will consistently be
supported by browsers, I think that we should do this step and provide a
brighter UI.
Raluca.
Please cast your vote.
