How to ceate your own theme

Good news! Contributing with new themes is now easier and less intimidating.

You just need to create a YAML format file, following the example of the other files in the themes folder.

Please keep in mind a few simple rules.

• The file name should match the name of the theme. For example:
  • Filename: Adventure Time.yml
  • Inside the .yml file: name: 'Adventure Time'
• Use title case for all words by capitalizing their first letter.
• Ensure that the contrast is sufficient for good legibility.

Now you can send Pull Request.

Thank you!
