Theming is typically handled by your toolkit. For GTK, you will need to modify files in a location like "~/.themes" or "~/.gtkrc-2." E.g. https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/theming.html and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B#Configuration. Theming can also be handled by your application. The best support for theming tends to be implemented in this way. Unfortunately from a user's standpoint this means each program must be customized separately. On the other hand, toolkit wide theming support tends to not be very good. Form components (like a SynEdit) may be drawn with colors not taken from the toolkit's configuration. Theming support for Lazarus might be a tall order but I think it would be worth it. See Visual Studio's dark theme, for example. Cheers, R0b0t1
