kicad's Issues

Doesn't work in Kicad 7

There are new fields (i.e. board/anchor) which break compatibility (tested in 7.0.5 ubuntu).
When an incompatible color scheme is put in ~/.config/kicad/VERSION/colors, it gets overwritten with "KiCad Default" settings.

I tested using some random colors in order to fill out all the fields and it works

Publish theme to KiCAD addon manager

As of KiCAD 6 there is an addon manager included, greatly simplifying the installation process for addons and themes for end users. Maybe it would help to add the theme there.
