1. Download the [`theme-gitea-modern.css` file][theme-file] and add it to your custom folder in `$GITEA_CUSTOM/public/css/` ([learn how to find that directory][doc-dir]).
- The path has changed in Gitea 1.15, there the file needs to be placed in `$GITEA_CUSTOM/public/assets/css`
2. Adapt your `app.ini` to make it the default theme or be user-selectable:
- To change the default theme, change the value of `DEFAULT_THEME` in the [ui section][doc-config] of `app.ini` to `gitea-modern`
If you use the [Stylus browser extension](https://add0n.com/stylus.html), you can use the [`theme-gitea-modern.user.css`][usertheme-file] file to apply to any Gitea instance.
To make changes, always base them on [`theme-gitea-modern.styl`](theme-gitea-modern.styl), which requires the [Stylus preprocessor](https://stylus-lang.com/).
