May I suggest an update to clarify the instructions in
leoSettings.leo#@ignore Themes: copy to last top-level setting in myLeoSettings.leo
from:
1. **Copy** this entire tree to myLeoSettings.leo.
2. Move the tree so it is the *last* top-level node under @settings.
3. Remove the @ignore from the copy of this node.
4. Enable one of the three themes below by removing @ignore for its node.
5. Test by opening another Leo outline.

3. Remove the @ignore from the copy of this node.
4. Enable one of the three themes below by removing @ignore for its node.
5. Select menu Settings>Reload Styles
6. Test by opening another Leo outline.

Step 5 (Reload-Styles) is currently buried under the node @ignore leo_dark theme 0 > colors. You can't see the 'reload-styles' button when you are editing myLeoSettings.leo; you only see it as a button when you go back to global leosettings.
It took me a while to realise it's not a button but actually a menu selection at Settings >Reload Styles.

This is a very important step! As without it you're not going to see any change. Good catch.
