The selected color scheme cannot be installed

[haptizum]

I am trying to install this them in gedit v41 on Arch and I get this error:

"The selected color scheme cannot be installed"

[githubbbbbbbbb]

gedit v44 - same error- "The selected color scheme cannot be installed"

I realize this is an old issue, but I was having the same issue when I tried to download the nord.xml file directly from the main page. My issue went away after opening the file on github in the browser and then downloading it from there.

Error on line 14 char 1: element 'style-scheme' requires attribute 'kind'

Here's a more descriptive error seen in terminal logs. I have no idea why that's required. Not a single gtksourceview theme has it.

And the rest of errors:

Error on line 14 char 12: Bad element stack.
Error on line 158 char 53: Failed to parse the color value “def:error” for the <style> tag.

• kind attribute is either "light" or "dark"
• version attribute is invalid for some reason.

And that's pretty much it. Got it work after getting rid of lines with errors and fixing up attributes

Ok, some more clarification: Bad element stack is caused by author tag and def:error is supposed to be in use-style attribute instead of foreground
