Great work - a light background for PCB is also needed.

Open moderndevice opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I realize that a light background for PCBs is problematic at the current time because of the color algorithm which just lightens selected colors. I am using my own light theme which does work - although selected colors are sometimes sub-optimal.

I'll be happy to work on some pleasing colors for a light theme. The algorithm question is another matter though as I think it would require recompiling Kicad to test. Something I'm not up for right now.

Hi, you can create a light theme for here and create an issue on the KiCad bugtracker to improve handling of light themes.

Are PCB themes separate from Schema themes? Seems like all the work here is Schema themes?
