Dark UI / Dark Mode
How do i enable the UI to be dark like in this post https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/3923

Can someone review my schematic and PCB?
For point 1, are you sure you're using the latest KiCad version? I know there was a bug in de software before, which caused this exact problem. But that's already from a long time ago: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/6447

KiCad Project Makefile
The first thing of thought of with kicad-cli is a Makefile include. It's developed into kicad-makefile. It does everything I want, except DRC/ERC but hopefully that will come. Perhaps others on here will find it useful and can contribute. See the README for info on how to use it and integrate with GitHub actions.

Python errors with 7
Not sure if the devs watch these forums, but if you want this issue solved I recommend raising the issue on Gitlab https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues (where the devs will definately see your bug report)

KidCad 7 won't snap to objects on non-active layer
There's an open feature request for an explicit multi-layer snap mode: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/6266

Just a simple plugin to create rounded rectangles
If you're really using the nightly build, you might not need that plugin. https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4742 seems to have a patch for that already. However it's targeted at kicad 8.0

Problems with a new low-profile corne
I followed this guide for the build (https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/corne-classic/doc/buildguide_en.md)

Nice!view not working when leds are turned on?
Not sure which information you mean, but here goes. Nice!Nano v2 Pinout (shows Arduino pin mapping). Nice!View Getting Started (explains how to remap the CS pin for a non-native shield like Corne). The overlay file where "cs-gpios" is set for the nice_view_adapter in ZMK. If you look at the Corne Schematic, you'll see as shown in the labels in this image that the bottom two pins (B2, B4, B5, B6) don't appear to be used for a column, row, or the OLED header. But the only way to really verify is to pull the KiCAD file for your Corne version and check yourself. I think D0 ("Data") should work. It appears to go to an optional I2C connection.
- Accidentally ripped off solder pad

Corne, but with a wider thumb cluster and stronger column stagger?
Want to say the corne board drawings etc are available at https://github.com/foostan/crkbd as well, if you fancy learning kicad you might be able to tweak them yourself ... though that is definitely the deep end of things...

Help needed regarding handwireing
I would need hex file from here https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/doc/firmware_en.md and then i need to run flash command . Il read through it one more time, it seems that i use same hex file for both sides.
