Notepad Style Themes Download
I downloaded and modified a style file and placed it in the Notepad++ themes folder. I was able to select it and have it update the style as expected. I then went to Settings -> Style Configurator and changed the font of COMMENT of language VHDL to MS Gothic, hit save, and closed and exited Notepad++. I am able to relaunch Notepad++ and still see the change (I'm running Notepad++ in admin mode on Win7).
Notepad PowerPoint Template is a free education PowerPoint template that can be used by teachers or educators looking for free template with notepad image. But this notepad PPT template can also be used by students who are looking new backgrounds for their college projects or academic projects in PowerPoint.
The only file that I can see a new timestamp on is my XML theme file, but I don't see MS Gothic anywhere in the file. Where is this information being stored? It is overriding the settings from my theme file. I also checked %APPDATA%Notepad++stylers.xml but I don't see it there either.
I realize I can change it back through the GUI, but I'd like to know how to get back to my original theme without selecting every style in the language manually (as I've made multiple changes). If I could edit (or delete) a file, I would prefer it.

Look in your %APPDATA%Notepad++ folder, specifically for the stylers.xml file.
- Uninstall Notepad++
- Reinstall it again, but this time check the first box, the one that says 'Don't use %APPDATA%..... '
- Enjoy.
The reason is that Notepad++ install all the files at administrator profile, if you are using another user then you are screw, it will not work properly, you have to run it always as an administrator so it can work properly. To avoid this, just do as i said.
If files are going to APPDATA, then you can create a folder called 'themes' and then inside that place your new xml themes. Then close and reopen notepad++ and you should see your new style in the 'Select theme:' drop down. Whatever you named the file should be what appears in the dropdown
Just as a complement to the other answers, if you made the changes on another theme than the default theme (stylers.xml) then your changes are saved to%APPDATA%Notepad++themesTheThemeYourModified.xml.
For example, if you modified the choco theme, then look for the %APPDATA%Notepad++themeschoco.xml.
You will also find a choco.xml in the C:Program Files (x86)Notepad++themes but this one is not where your changes are saved.
I tried Rbastardo answer, but even when I check 'Don't use %APPDATA%.....' when installing Notepad++, the changes are still saved in %APPDATA%.
MagTunMagTunIf you are on Windows 10 the path to add the new theme is :
stylers.xml is located one director/ folder above the themes :
