Server: Themes per user/group

[jasonbayton]

So I've been considering a couple of things, mainly around splitting my NC install off into personal/work profiles to share with colleagues as an alternative to Dropbox at the office.

In thinking about this I recalled the work install I setup with owncloud and a company branded theme a long time ago and wondered:

Would it be possible to offer a theme based on user group? If I were to open the install to colleagues they'd all sit in a company group and applying a branded theme would be super useful without setting it globally.

It's such an option feasible?

I'd be happy with one generic login, but different colours for different groups, maybe even different logos in the top left too.

And for public pages etc?

Honestly I don't think we should go down this road.

That would be great. Presumably if themes could be assigned based on group, folders created by people in a group could pick up on the relevant metadata too?

What should happen if people are in multiple groups?

I'm absolutely with @nickvergessen. This would add way to much complexity for a very small use case.

Precendence setting on the user's entry. But if you're theming based on group it wouldn't make sense to actively put users into multiple themed groups necessarily.

@jasonbayton I get your idea, but as julius also just said:

Feel free to write an app for that, but I don't think we should do that in the server.
