[Qgis-developer] QGIS3 theme?

Tue Feb 28 00:58:15 PST 2017

Hi Tim,

Apologies for the delayed response, just got access to my computer.

You got a great memory :)

Yes, it was a pilot project that we did for the ministry of education.
They wanted to teach the secondary grade students (age 16 to 18) geography
and gis with QGIS. The core requirement was to create a PORTABLE version
that they can run it on any computer. On top, since the users are students,
they wanted to make it colorful and make the interface very simple so its
easy for them to teach.. you are right on that note. Well, unfortunately,
they didn't continue with this.

Along with that, they wanted us to create a web application that will look
exactly same as the custom QGIS version and we did that too.

Most of the work was done by my colleague Serge. Will request him to post
the screens and details.

Regards,
Ganesh
