2. Open LTspice, and sakabug theme is active.

How do get it work?

1. Check where your LTspiceXVII.ini is located. Probably in $HOME\appdata\roaming folder.
2. Put included LTspice-themes.txt somewhere of your choosing.
3. Add this to your PowerShell_profile.ps1, or have the function work in your preferable way. NOTE the file paths for the .ini and .txt:

### LTspice-themes ###
function LTspice-themes ([string]$theme) {
  $file1 = "$HOME\appdata\roaming\LTspiceXVII.ini"
  $file2 = "D:\Tiedostot\Gits\LTspice-themes\LTspice-themes.txt"
  $content1 = Get-Content -Path $file1
  $content2 = Get-Content -Path $file2
  foreach ($line in $content2){
    if ($line -eq $(-join("[",$theme,"]"))) { $index2 = $content2.IndexOf($line) }
  }
  foreach ($line in $content1){
    if ($line -eq "[Colors]") { $index1 = $content1.IndexOf($line) }
  }
  for ($i=1; $i -lt 36; $i++){
    $content1[$index1+$i] = $content2[$index2+$i]
  }
  $content1 | Set-Content -Path $file1
}

4. Restart PowerShell and run LTspice-themes sakabug in PowerShell while LTspice is closed.
5. Open LTspice, and sakabug theme is active.

Adding new themes

1. Open LTspice-themes.txt.
2. Open LTspice and edit color theme to your liking from palette, and close LTspice.
3. Open LTspiceXVII.ini and copy paste entire [Colors] section to the LTspice-themes.txt to the end of the file.
4. Still in the .txt change the newly brought profile's [Colors] line to [theme-name], and save.

Or

2. Copy paste premade [Colors] section from somewhere. Just change the [Colors] to [theme name] and save.

Misc

If you want to share your theme, I can centralize them here. And sorry, don't have any Mac devices on hand.
