Creating a custom theme​

Creating a custom theme is straightforward. You can just create a new .xaml file based on our template and save it in the themes folder.

Template file​

Just copy the latest template from the community themes repository, edit it using a text editor, and save it in the themes folder to try it out. Be aware that the hex codes are ARGB syntax and not RGB syntax.
