[Feature request] Support installation of color themes under /usr/share/kicad/themes
Currently only themes under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kicad/$VERSION/colors
are read by the application. It'd be nice if a directory under /, like /usr/share/kicad/themes was supported. This would have the benefit of allowing the packaging of color themes for distros as the home directory shouldn't be touched by package managers. Futhermore, it would allow the global installation of said themes. While this is a very niche use-case it shouldn't be too hard to implement.
