Custom i3status-rust Theme

Anyone get a custom theme to work? Not overrides in the config.toml.

Example: mytheme.toml (copied from space-villain and put in ~/.config/i3status-rust/themes/ per github wiki and i3status-rs man page)

idle_bg = "#06060f" # Rich black
idle_fg = "#c1c1c1" # Silver
info_bg = "#00223f" # Maastricht Blue
info_fg = "#c1c1c1" # Silver
good_bg = "#394049" # Arsenic
good_fg = "#c1c1c1" # Silver
warning_bg = "#2d1637" # Dark Purple
warning_fg = "#c1c1c1" # Silver
critical_bg = "#c1c1c1" # Silver
critical_fg = "#2c1637" # Dark Purple
separator = "\ue0b2"
separator_bg = "auto"
separator_fg = "auto"

~/.config/i3status-rust/config.toml (per github wiki)

[theme]
file = "mytheme.toml"

My error: Configuration error: failed to parse TOML from file contents
If I copy, as root, to /usr/share/i3status-rust/themes/mytheme.toml, I get mytheme not found (yes, config.toml updated to theme = "mytheme". theme = "space-villain" works fine)
