Populating "themes" directory doesn't add themes

[thomas-neuburger]

I've populated the ~/.config/ghostwriter/themes directory with theme folders (each containing a theme.cfg file), but unlike the documentation says, none of these themes shows up when I select Settings > Theme. It looks like only a .json file is presented as a theme.

Has something changed, or am I missing a step?

Thanks.

Looks like 2.0 changed the themes format. I'd be tempted to back-install 1.8 just to get the good themes back. Anyone know of a conversion tool?

The Dracula Theme does include Dracula.json and it works on linux ... just copy Dracula.json into ~/.config/ghostwriter/themes/

It does look nice as Light or Dark.

The format looks simple enough but it appears to be a super-set of the old Theme.cfg Files

Can't get it to work

For some reason, it doesn't work for me.
Using the latest git build.
I'm using a minimal setup using DWM with xinit.

I installed ghostwriter using AUR, the path for the themes for me are located in ~/.local/share/ghostwriter/themes

that's true. I've encountered the same on Debian / Linux Mint. ~/.config/ghostwriter/themes/ seemed to be a more logical and sensible place, I don't understand this change, maybe it's some KDE recommendations ?
