      1. It would be nice to import/export themes using some simple format like XML/JSON.
        This is required to implement the next step.

      2. It should be possible to import theme directly from link / URL / embedded code.
        I think about some custom URL handler like vivaldi-theme://xyz...?

        • user opens some site like themes.vivaldi.com
        • user can click on link and Vivaldi asks "Do you want to import this theme to your list?"
        • user can also easily generate file / link to theme and share it

      Best with images too because some themes don't work without the corresponding image.
      If for copyright reasons the images can not be hosted on Vivaldi's server, maybe providing the link to the original source.

      @QuHno best to encourage images/settings getting moved to themes for this first.

      @ROTFL to be consistent with generic formats, JSON should be a good match.
      Using a generic URL schema and allowing import on detection of compatible content should suffice.

      {
        "checksum": …,
        "theme" : {
          "colors" : {
            "foreground" : …,
            …
          },
          …
          "images" : {
            "background" : {
              "checksum": "sha256:…",
              "url" : …
            },
            "startpage" : "data:text/plain;base64,…"
          }
        },
        "version" : 1
      }

      @quhno I'd be suprised if not already done so, but maybe Firefox' theme approach could be worth a look.

      Maybe import can be implement or riping off getting inspired by other ideas is (still) an option.
