# Change the colour scheme

gedit includes several different colour schemes, allowing you to change the appearance of the main text window.

# To change the colour scheme:

Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select Preferences Font & Colours.

Choose your desired colour scheme.

The new colour scheme will be applied immediately.

# Use a Custom Colour Scheme

You can also use colour schemes that have been created by others, or create and use your own colour schemes.

Instructions on how to install custom colour schemes, as well as examples of colour schemes that you can download and use, are available on the gedit wiki.
