Description
Hello Dracula Gedit Maintainers,
I have developed a robust Shell Script installer (gdt_installer.sh) designed to significantly simplify the installation of the Dracula theme across all common Gedit installation methods on Linux.
The goal is to provide a single, reliable command that handles the current complexity of Gedit configuration paths, especially for containerized environments.
Key Features of the Installer:
- Multi-Environment Support: Automatically attempts installation in four known configuration paths:
- Native Legacy (
< v46) - Native Modern (
>= v46) - Flatpak (
>= v46) - Snap (
>= v46)
- Native Legacy (
- Robust Pre-flight Checks: Verifies connectivity, dependencies (
curl), and handles HTTP errors (like 429 Rate Limit) between theme file downloads. - Clean User Experience: Provides clear success/failure messages, including specific warnings and alternatives for Snap users.
I believe integrating this script into the main repository would be a huge quality-of-life improvement for your Linux user base, reducing the support load related to manual path configuration.
You can review the script and documentation (README) here:

Thank you for maintaining this fantastic theme!
