      Hello,
      I am trying to find how to create my own theme. I would like to use one that is already in Notepad++ but make changes here. And then back it up somewhere for further use after reinstalling PC to put it into the new Notepad++ installation. Can someone give me a simple step-by-step guide how to make a copy of existing style and after making changes what file(s) to back up?
      Thanks!

        @Martin-Vlach ,

        1. Copy themes\original.xml to themes\your.xml , and change the name inside the XML to Your Theme Name
        2. Open Notepad++
        3. Settings > Style Configurator > Select Theme: Your Theme Name
        4. Use Style Configurator to edit your theme
        5. When you exit Notepad++, it will save your theme

        You would then save a copy of themes\your.xml and then put it on any new computer / new installation where you want that theme.

        (Clarification: original.xml, your.xml and Your Theme Name are intended as placeholders: use reasonable values, not literally what I put.)
