How do I make my own theme?

To start making your own themes, choose the top dropdown option and select a custom theme. The non-custom themes are site default themes which can be used, but not edited. You can rename your custom theme to whatever you want in the input below the dropdown.

I've selected my theme. What next?

Once you have selected a custom theme, you can use the dropdowns and colour pickers to create a style that suits you. Once you are happy with your creation, click the 'Save' button, then once saved click the 'Use Theme' button to set it as your default.

How can I see other user themes?
