Hi Stefan,

Thanks! I'll add the comments on Balsamiq after this e-mail, I just
wanted to add some notes here.

I like the idea of being able to edit the QR code look and feel, and I
think it would be a nice feature to have in Qreator

However, I want to make sure that the user experience in Qreator is as
simple and intuitive as it can be, and I'm conscious not to add too many
features. Not only in terms of UX, but also in terms of maintenance.

In particular, the feature to save themes I'm not too sure about. I
think I'd like to try to re-think the theme workflow and look at how
other apps such as Instagram and the likes do it with filters, which are
essentially the same. I'm not particularly fond of drop-down boxes, and
I'd rather have a grid showing the predefined set of themes (which would
be a set of combinations we offer for dot style and colors), so that the
user can simply see and change the theme with a single click. E.g.:

Let me see if I can add a new mockup with my thoughts between today and
tomorrow.

Cheers,
David.
