Go to [this page](https://github.com/doomemacs/themes) and choose any theme you like, and download the raw file into -`~/.doom.d/themes/-theme.el`. The theme name can be anything, but make sure it ends with "-theme.el" -or Doom won't recognise it as a theme. - -2. Open the theme in your favourite text editor (I wonder which one it is) and edit the line that says `(def-doom-theme ` -and replace `` with any name you like, make sure not to use the original name (or the name of any other theme that already exists on your system) or it would create a clash. -Now, edit the theme to your liking and you're good to go! - -3. Open a new Doom Emacs frame and enter `SPC h t t` and select your new theme! - -- cgit v1.2.3
