Gerber viewer layers manager

Is there any way of changing the layers manager back to how it used to be when I could choose which pcb layer was loaded onto which gerbview layer?

Now I have to laboriously change the color of each layer every time I use gerbview to get rid of the psychedelic color scheme with each pcb layer loaded at the next free gerbview layer.

Yes, good question!
This is one of the last things that i find slightly annoying of KiCad.
I found a way to somewhat ease the pain in the process using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ key to move the layers around and modified the color scheme in a way more pleasant to my sore eyes, but some clicking is still needed…

note that there is open gitlab issue for this topic. If you want this implemented you should follow claudio and upvote: Gerbview: Ability to force custom color for drill files / color themes for gerbers (#10599) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
