Hi Bill,

> How difficult is this for a mere user?

Depending on how mere you are, more or less :)

Here's how I managed to do it:

- Copy configure.xml to the localsearches directory under your install dir
- Open the copy in your favorite text editor
- Search for "loadcssfile(\"classic\")" with or without quotes included
- After this line, you'll want to add a new one, with the following
contents:

        mb.AppendMenuItem("Theme name", "loadcssfile(\"mytheme.css\")",
"Description", confthememenu);
        // Exchange mytheme.css for the actual css filename, of course

- Save and restart DQSD with !

It should now load your local configure.xml instead of the system-provided,
and the text "Theme name" will come up as a menu item under "Load Color
Scheme..."

Beware, though, that your configure.xml will override the system one
permanently, so any fixes to configure.xml will not reach you.

For some reason, my BMP readers failed to open the file, after I'd renamed
it... I hope it looks nice :)

Feel free to donate the theme to the project if you like, and we can add it
as part of the distribution.

Cheers,
