Themes give you control and consistency of the colors used in your workspace.
Select your colors with the simple color picker - or get specific with a hex code, then give each color a name and choose light or dark text.
Your default theme will be applied to all new files created across the entire workspace.
Select the default theme under Templates and themes, which you'll find at the bottom of the sidebar. Click Edit theme to make changes:
Choose your new default colors, color names, and text colors then click Save:

You don't have to create a theme to change the colors of a file. Simply open an existing file, click Color theme from the file actions menu and change the colors there directly.
If you really like the colors you've chosen and want to reuse them in other files, save the theme by clicking Copy to Templates and themes:
