+## 3rd party themes
+
+Arduino IDE is built on the [**Eclipse Theia** IDE framework](https://theia-ide.org/), which allows it to use [**VS Code**](https://code.visualstudio.com/) themes.
+
+---
+
+❗ Arduino does not maintain or provide support for individual 3rd party themes. If you experience problems with a theme, report it to the theme's maintainer.
+
+---
+
+### Obtaining themes
+
+A large selection of free VS Code themes are available from the **Visual Studio Marketplace** website:
