How to add Formats (css styles) to the Mosaic Format Menu

I wanted to know what it takes to add css styles to the Mosaic Format Menu. I know that you can look at existing formats in the ./portal_registry but it doesn't allow for adding new registry entries. I am assuming that I could do this through my theme installation using a configuration file of some sort but I am not sure how to do this. Could anyone shed some light on:

  1. The format of these configuration items
  2. How to install new Formats for use in the menu.

If found some information here on the registry formatting but not sure I understand its context and where I would add the values:

I use this Definition in the registry.xml to add a CSS-Class Option for a tile:

<!-- Add new Tile Option to Mosaic Editor -->
    
    <record
        name="plone.app.mosaic.default_available_actions">
        <value purge="False">
            <element>tile-custom-color</element>
        </value>
    </record>
    
    <records
        interface="plone.app.mosaic.interfaces.IFormat"
        prefix="plone.app.mosaic.formats.tile_custom_color">
        
        <value key="name">tile-custom-color</value>
        <value key="category">tile</value>
        <value key="label">Custom Tile Color</value>
        <value key="action">tile-toggle-class</value>
        <value key="icon">true</value>
        <value key="favorite">false</value>
        <value key="weight">101</value>
        
    </records>

@datakurre,
Is there a way to do this ^^^ in a fat theme?

Yes, with collective.themesitesetup you can have this in:

./install/registry.xml
