-# Themes
-
-Textadept's look and feel can be customized with themes. The themes that come
-with Textadept are `light` and `dark`'. By default the `light` theme is used. To
-change the theme, create a `~/.textadept/theme` file whose first line of text is
-the name of the theme you would like to use.
-
-![Light Theme](images/lighttheme.png)
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
-![Dark Theme](images/darktheme.png)
-
-Themes apply to all buffers. You cannot assign a theme to a particular file or
-filetype. You can change things like tab and indent settings per filetype
-however by creating a [language-specific module].
-
-[language-specific module]: 7_Modules.html#Buffer.Properties
-
-## Creating or Modifying Themes
-
-Each theme is a single folder on the filesystem composed of three files:
-`lexer.lua`, `buffer.lua`, and `view.lua`. It is recommended to put themes in
-your `~/.textadept/themes/` directory so they will not be overwritten when you
-update Textadept. Themes in that directory override any themes in Textadept's
-`themes/` directory. This means that if you have your own `light` theme, it will
-be loaded instead of the one that comes with Textadept.
-
-To use a theme not located in `~/.textadept/themes/` or Textadept's `themes/`
-directory, you need to specify an absolute path to the theme's folder in your
-`~/.textadept/theme` file.
-
-### Lexer
-
-Textadept uses lexers to assign names to buffer elements like comments, strings,
-and keywords. These elements are assigned styles composed of font and color
-information in the theme's `lexer.lua`. See the `Styling Tokens` section of the
-[lexer][] page for more information on how to create styles and colors.
-
-[lexer]: ../api/lexer.html
-
-### Buffer
-
-`buffer.lua` contains buffer-specific properties like indentation size and
-whether or not to use tabs. For example, to set the default tab size to 4 and
-use tabs:
-
- buffer.tab_width = 4
- buffer.use_tabs = true
- buffer.indent = 4
-
-See the [LuaDoc][] for documentation on the properties.
-
-[LuaDoc]: ../api/buffer.html
-
-### View
-
-`view.lua` contains view-specific properties like caret and selection colors.
-See the [LuaDoc][] for documentation on the properties.
-
-[LuaDoc]: ../api/buffer.html
-
-## Testing Themes
-
-You can reload or switch between themes on the fly using `Ctrl+Shift+T` (⌘⇧T on
-Mac OSX), but be aware that the Scintilla views do not reset themselves, so any
-options set explicitly in the previous theme's `view.lua` file that are not set
-explicitly in the new theme will carry over. The switch feature is intended
-primarily for theme exploration and/or development and can be slow when many
-buffers or views are open.
-
-Any errors that occur in the theme are printed to `io.stderr`.
-
-## Theming the GUI
-
-There is no way to theme GUI controls like text fields and buttons from within
-Textadept. Instead, use [GTK Resource files][]. The `GtkWindow` name is
-`textadept`. For example, styling all text fields with a
-`"textadept-entry-style"` would be done like this:
-
- widget "textadept*GtkEntry*" style "textadept-entry-style"
-
-[GTK Resource files]: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-Resource-Files.html
-
-## Getting Themes
-
-For now, user-created themes are obtained from the [wiki][]. The classic `dark`,
-`light`, and `scite` themes prior to version 4.3 have been moved there.
