To use a theme add `theme = "<name>"` to the top of your [`config.toml`](./configuration.md) file, or select it during runtime using `:theme <name>`.
+Separate themes can be configured for light and dark modes. On terminals supporting [mode 2031 dark/light detection](https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/blob/master/docs/vt-extensions/color-palette-update-notifications.md), the theme mode is detected from the terminal.
+
+```toml
+[theme]
+dark = "catppuccin_frappe"
+light = "catppuccin_latte"
+## Optional. Used if the terminal doesn't declare a preference.
+## Defaults to the theme set for `dark` if not specified.
+# fallback = "catppuccin_frappe"
+```
+
## Creating a theme
Create a file with the name of your theme as the file name (i.e `mytheme.toml`) and place it in your `themes` directory (i.e `~/.config/helix/themes` or `%AppData%\helix\themes` on Windows). The directory might have to be created beforehand.
