+## How to change the GTK theme?
+
+The GTK theme defines the look and feel of Geany. Many different themes are available on the net,
+including dark ones. You might have a look at https://www.gnome-look.org/ for GTK3 themes.

+
+### On macOS
+
+Geany releases for macOS have the "Prof-Gnome" theme pre-installed and depending on the used macOS theme, the light or dark variant is used automatically.
+
+If desired, the theme can be changed by replacing the folder contents of `Geany.app/Contents/Resources/share/themes/Prof-Gnome` in the Geany.app bundle. Note that the folder name `Prof-Gnome` must be kept and only the contents should be replaced.
+
+### On Linux/Unix systems
+
+Changing the GTK theme on Linux and Unix distributions is done differently depending on the desktop environment you use.

+
+Note that changing the GTK theme will not affect the syntax highlighting color theme within Geany.
+To change this, see [Color Themes](/download/themes/).
+
+### On Windows
+
+To change the GTK theme, perform the following steps:
+
+- find and download a GTK theme
+- unpack its contents into the directory `c:\Users/<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Local\themes\` (create if it does not exist yet)
+- create the directory `c:\Users/<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0\` if it not already exists

Done

> +- create a file `settings.ini` in this directory with the following contents:
+  ```
+  [Settings]
+  gtk-theme-name=Prof-Gnome
+  ```
+- adjust the `gtk-theme-name` setting to match the folder name of the unpacked GTK theme
