I have updated to 6.0. Perhaps I made one error in (only normal through Windows settings) uninstalling 5.9. But I seem to have maybe a chicken-egg problem in trying to copy some color information from what’s left in my Roaming KiCad 5.99 folder:
If my BobZ1 folder exists, why doesn’t KiCad put the folder on the list so that I can select it?
Thanks guys. This is not a big problem. I was able to change a few colors manually, and then also copy paste from one color theme to another with Windows explorer. So it is more a matter of wondering about a possible minor bug than complaining about any major difficulty. But for some reason it seems particularly annoying when the colors I wanted do not magically appear.
Close KiCad and open that json file in a text editor. Look for a name section, and if it is named KiCad Default, rename it to something else and see if that fixes the problem.
I understand what you are saying, and I would have done exactly that but I had already:
Through KiCad I named a new theme BobZ2. I changed a couple of colors manually, but then with text editor copied BobZ1 into BobZ2 and deleted BobZ1. That all seemed to work.
Now (somewhat teasing) after your post I indeed did see “KiCad Default” in my BobZ2 file and renamed it to “Something Else.”
WOOPS I needed to close and restart KiCad. Something else is now there. Note that the filename (BobZ2) does not appear.
No I was not aware of Plugin and Content manager. I have not used plugins unless they operate at wall outlet voltage, and I generally run away from themes. I like to choose colors which make sense to me.
