Manifest: Consider adding a `theming` manifest member or a separate spec for browser customisation
The manifest provides several members to control the aspect of the browser where branding is important. This proposal suggests gathering these members under a new member theming or considering the creation of a new specification for browser customisation.
theme_color, icons, purpose values #617, a possible spash_screen definition #589 and other discussions related to design could live separately from the manifest spec and get input from design audiences.

Actually, the manifest’s purpose is to define the appearance of the installed app, so I think it’s perfectly valid to have theme_color etc. as a “root member” of the web app manifest. Apart from that, I think it’s too late for radically changing the structure of the manifest now, as many sites are already actively using it. That’s why I would vote for closing this issue.
@marcoscaceres What do you think about this?

I would close this. Those things are one of the primary use cases for Manifest.
