FS#2353 - add theme folder to a local shared path

Would it be possible to add Qcad’s theme folder to the local shared path, for example this would be /home/username/.local/share/QCAD/QCAD/themes for Linux. I know this works well for line types and would be extremely helpful for themes.

In Windows exist already a Themes folder below:
...\qcad-3.27.1-pro-win64\themes

Hi husky. Linux also has a themes folder in the main application folder structure, but every time you update, a new folder structure is created, so the new Qcad version cannot 'see' any themes that may have been created or changed in the previous version, yes you can copy them, but like line types, if themes had a shared local folder you wouldn't have to.

Yes, you are right! Makes sense ... ;-)

I agree - A theme is just one of any number of customizations, so it makes sense to have a local per-user theme repository. I've seen this in other apps.
