   Description     : Gruvbox colorscheme for KiCadi

A simple gruvbox colorscheme for the EESchema and PCBNew editors within
KiCad. KiCad 8 allows for the system-wide installation of
colorschemes, thus ITP'ing now.

how is this system wide installation intended to work.

Even the upstream project site states the installation needs to happen into ~/.config/kicad/colors or ~/.config/kicad/6.0/colors (besides it uses the older version 6.0 as user folder)

As long as I follow this feature I'm not aware that any system wide installation of themes is now possible.

Given it is possible, how the internal Plugin and Content Management will handle this?

Hi Carsten,

thanks for maintaining KiCad. What you mentioned is true for Kicad <= 7.0. With 8.0 a change landed enabling installation of colorthemes system-wide  (see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/15920).

I already created a package and installed it and it works as intended. Since this does not touch user files this conforms to Debian policy.  The plugin manager does not show this scheme as installed since it only looks for user themes.

best,
