Themes are predefined sets of formatting rules that offer a consistent color theme, background color, style, and font. Notepad++ comes with a default theme and several other themes. You can customize any of these themes using the Style Configurator dialog or by editing the XML files.
Generally, Theme XML files are stored in %AppData%\Notepad++\Themes for a normal installation or in the Themes\ subdirectory of your notepad++ install location if you have chosen local configuration while installing. The downloaded theme will be available in Settings > Style Configurator.

It just that I haven't found a theme that really works for me. There are themes that feature some bright on dark , but they mix in some dimmer colors on the dark too. My color vision is poor, and this grows uncomfortable.
I like the look of Sublime Text 2 but I prefer using Notepad++ as my default text editor. Is there a way to make the notepad++ application itself dark? More specifically, I would like to change the region highlighted in red to a dark background with a light grey text.
The themes, as you guessed, can't do this (they only handle what's in the text editing window). To change the colors you'll have to change color values in the source code (download from the site or GitHub).
When I select a theme and make changes to the font name and font size, they always default back to original settings whenever I reopen notepad++. Is there a way of making font name and size changes to any theme in notepad++ permanent?
I thought I knew how to add themes to Notepad++. You move the .xml file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes, and then restart Notepad++ and choose it in the Settings->Style Configurator window, then Save & Close.
Well, when you download the file, it downloads as "stylers.xml.eclipse". So I renamed it "Eclipse.xml". I performed the steps above, and there it was in the Select theme drop down. When I selected it though, the text I wrote didn't change, and comments didn't change color or anything.
So, I renamed the "Eclipse.xml" file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\themes to "stylers.model.xml", moved it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\ to overwrite that stylers.model.xml, and for good measure, also copied it to C:\Documents and Settings\%%USERNAME%%\Application Data\Notepad++\ under the name "stylers.xml", overwriting the "stylers.xml" that was there. (I backed up the original stylers.model.xml and stylers.xml files I overwrote). Restarted Notepad++. Still the code wasn't formatting any differently.
Can anyone tell me if I can use this theme somehow in my Notepad++? I attached the XML theme I'm talking about as well if you wanted to look at it. (renamed from "stylers.xml.android" as originally downloaded as to "stylers.xml")
Themes are pre-defined sets of formatting rules, which often try to use a consistent color scheme between languages. You may choose your theme using the Preferences > Style Configurator dialog.
Notepad++ comes packaged with a default theme and a number of other themes to start with. You may customize any of those themes using the Style Configurator dialog, or by editing the underlying XML files.
To create a new theme, copy an existing theme file to a new name in the same directory, reload Notepad++, and use the Style Configurator to edit the color and font settings (or edit the XML file directly, and reload).

This is a custom developed Notepad++ theme that I used for many years while writing HTML, PHP, and CSS. This is mostly used for web development languages, so the other languages haven't been overly tested. For anyone who doesn't know, Notepad++ is a syntax highlighted text editor, comparable in functionality to the larger web development IDE's minus all of the unnecessary overhead.
Our favorite new feature is dark mode. This has been a top community ask, and we hope you love this gorgeous new theme as much as we do.

I think these colors are both relaxing and readable. Please read the original article for detailed explanations.
I set up the color theme at least for my personal usage (mainly C#, XML, HTML and XAML). I did not check formats I do not use, such as C++, VB or F#.
Consequently, you may encounter wrong colors in some text formats.
