    Dear developers,

    Ever since the newer versions of Notepad++ the implementation of stylers.xml doesn't work.
    Interesting; the file doesn't even exists anymore.

    I copied the stylers.xml file to the root notepad++ folder, but it doesn't work.

    Does anybody now how to use theme's in the newer / newest version of Notepad++ ?

    Regards,

      Now configure your syntaxing colors once again by hand and save the one at %APPDATA% directory.

      i have asked the same question a few days ago, but didn't have any reply.
      I tried to modify some colors and verified if stylers.model.xml has been updated but nothing changed on the file.
      I didn't find where the npp stores style configurations. And why stylers.model.xml stands there for nothing.

      Please look at the FAQ in the wiki:
      http://notepad-plus.wiki.sourceforge.net/FAQ

      I updated it a bit to make it more clear. In short, dont edit the .model files or remove the originals (after upgrades, the model files are updated, the original files arent).

      Also on a side note: if any styles are black instead of colored (such as the indicators for tags), your stylers.xml is outdated and needs to be replaced/updated.

        no but the problem was: i was looking at the root of npp at "c:\program files\...". In fact the styler.xml is in the application data directory at "Document and Settings\user\applicaiton data". There, i found a styler.xml which has updated. I replaced it but anything changed. Why?

        because i was stupid before deleting my npp. I was saved the style.xml which was at the root of npp(the model one), but i had to back up the one at the application data. The directory to store the config filesis asked when you install the npp first time.

        And i understand now why they named the file at the npp root "styler.model.xml", it was for preventing the confusion with "styler.xml".
