1. Download the Theme Files

Download the latest release ZIP file from the Releases page or clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/pofa10/XDC_for_NotepadPP

2. Locate Your Notepad++ User-Defined Languages Folder

The location depends on your Notepad++ installation (portable or standard).

• Standard Installation: The folder is typically located at: %APPDATA%\Notepad++\userDefineLangs (You can paste this path into your Windows Explorer address bar).

• Portable Installation: The folder is typically located in the userDefineLangs subdirectory of the portable Notepad++ installation folder.

3. Import the UDL File

• Copy the theme files (e.g., XDC_Dark_Theme.xml and XDC_Light_Theme.xml) from the downloaded/cloned repository into the userDefineLangs folder you located in Step 2.

• Restart Notepad++.

4. Apply the Theme

• Open an XDC file (a file with the .xdc extension) in Notepad++.
• Go to the main menu: Language -> User Defined Language -> (Your Theme Name - e.g., XDC Dark).

Note: You will need to manually select the appropriate theme (Dark or Light) based on your global Notepad++ color scheme (set in Settings -> Style Configurator).
