Themes are pre-defined sets of formatting rules, which often try to use a consistent color scheme between languages. You may choose your theme using the [**Preferences > Style Configurator** dialog](./preferences/#style-configurator).
8+
9+
Notepad++ comes packaged with a default theme and a number of other themes to start with. You may customize any of those themes using the Style Configurator dialog, or by editing the underlying XML files.
10+
11+
Theme XML files are stored in `%AppData%\Notepad++\Themes` for a normal installation, or in the `Themes\` subdirectory of your Notepad++ installation directory if you chose local configuration during installation or if you are using a portable version of Notepad++. If you edit the files directly, you must exit all instances of Notepad++ and reload for the changes to take place. (Also, if you made changes in the Style Configurator _and_ by editing the file, the two sets of changes will be in conflict, and you might not get what you want. Stick with one method of editing at a time.)
12+
13+
To create a new theme, copy an existing theme file to a new name in the same directory, reload Notepad++, and use the Style Configurator to edit the color and font settings (or edit the XML file directly, and reload).
14+
15+
You may share a theme in a similar method to creating a new theme: copy the theme file, give it an appropriate name, and put it in your `themes\` subdirectory: it's the same whether you are sharing across multiple users on the same computer, sharing across local computers, or sharing over the internet.
