How to use local theme colors?

Question

I followed the instructions but was not able to generate my own colors

/path/to/themes/folder

If my source code is in D:\Git\Repo\Project1

Where should my puml-theme-joyce.puml file sit?

Hello J.,

You can put your theme as you as, according to the accurate folder definition on the `!theme` command.

For example, if:
Your theme file `puml-theme-joyce.puml` is on the folder `D:\Git\Repo\Project1\themes`:

<style>
  node {
    BackgroundColor palegreen
  }
</style>

You can call this theme from your puml file `file-to-test-theme.puml` of the folder `D:\Git\Repo\Project1`, as:

@startuml
!theme joyce from /themes

title test of local theme
node Node
@enduml
