Hi @luzpaz, if you want to make this change I'd be happy to review a PR. Unfortunately I don't have the time to work on it right now.

[luzpaz]

Possibly. Can you add a 'Help Wanted' to this ticket JIC anyone else is inspired ?

To turn this into a preference pack, don't we need to first include this stylesheet into FreeCADs source @luzpaz ?

If the stylesheet was packaged into FreeCAD I would like to wrap it into a Preference Pack, but I don't know what the current consensus is regarding getting "every" stylesheet into the FreeCAD source.

I don't think so. Preference packs operate independently of core FreCAD, right @chennes ? (he's AFK till later this week)

That's how it worked for the Behave theme at least. The Preference pack chooses the already included stylesheet and sets all the colors not already set by the sheet.

I'm not sure if a preference pack alone is able to set all colors that the stylesheet usually sets.

[luzpaz]

Oh interesting. Didn't know that.

You can include the stylesheet withe the pack, it does not have to be part of the FreeCAD distribution.

I have opened up PRs to refactor this repo into a PreferencePack, as well as distribute it with the internal addon manager.

You can try it out without merging by adding my fork to your FreeCADs addon manager custom repo list like this:

Searching for preference packs via the addon manager and installing the fork:

And lastly applying it from within preferences:
