I think the PR is ready to be merged: Chart theme context toolbar by aszucs3 · Pull Request #12996 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub
fixed a few review things for Szymon
• added some properties to chart style .. and some elements .. still has some confusion .. like gradients in chart imported from docx seems to not work as those that are made by LO.
Some properties work in most case.. Backround Color fill, border, 3D angles …
but some are not working that I have to track.. for examle the title background color.
Not found any property for legend orientation ..maybe it calculated into some direct shape member values
