I just tried installing the Vibrant Ink theme but Notepad++ is still showing the same style as before. I extracted the XML file, made a backup of the existing stylers.xml, and then pasted the new stylers.xml into the Notepad++ directory. I restarted the program but nothing has changed - any ideas why?

Update - I figured it out. I was looking in the wrong directory. There were two styler.xml files, and the correct one to replace was in C:\Documents and Settings\**USERNAME**\Application Data\Notepad++\

Thanks for the info. When I first copied the new stylers.xml file, there wasn't a /themes directory. Spurred by your advice I created a "themes" subfolder, and placed the stylers.xml file in C:\Program Files\Notepad++\themes and re-opened Notepad++ but it still did not update with the theme.

Because Notepad++ has to find your theme file in the themes\ subfolder in order to load it.
