Hi Jon,   Thanks for your response.    First of all, I wanted to mention that I'm not a professional programmer. I have some experience with embedded and a little less with c++ and wxWidgets.  I missed the option of quickly changing colors in eeschema, so I decided to try to do it myself. My goal was to create a simple option for me, but it grew a little bit and I decided to share it with others.    Starting the project, I decided that all color schemes will be in one wxConfigFile. I thought about the possibility to import/export schemes to the file specified by the user. Of course, storage in a folder in separate files is also a good option.  There is no option to restore the default colors, but it should be. I thought that the first schema on the selection list would be the default and could not be modified or deleted.   ChangeColorShemaInTempFile - Of course, there is a spelling mistake.   I'll try to prepare patch.

There was already a launchpad issue tracking this feature request here:  bugs.launchpad.net bugs.launchpad.net  I had been working on it a long time ago, but switched to some other features and haven't gotten back to it.   I would be fine with handing over responsibility for this feature to you if you'd like, but I think that your proposed change as-is doesn't go far enough.  We should be developing a color theme system that works across all the applications, not just eeschema (in my opinion).   Apart from that, from a quick review of your code I have some questions:   - Why store all color schemes in a single file instead of one file per scheme? The latter is what I had planned, and seems easier to share between users.  - Is there a way to revert to the default (hard-coded) colors?  I didn't see one, but again I haven't run the code  - "ChangeColorShemaInTempFile" -> I think "Shema" should be "Scheme" right?   Finally, for acceptance you would need to provide your changes as patch files (using `git format-patch`) rather than a github branch.

The user can create his own list of color schemes. The color schemes are saved in the configuration file "eeschema.colors".
