How to set editor theme in IntelliJ Idea

Question

I m trying to change the editor color schemes in IntelliJ Idea 13 1 3 community edition to a darker theme  I downloaded a theme from a website  Editor s note  the website has since been replaced with spam  and has been edited out  and imported settings through File- gt Import Settings     The jar imported successfully and I restarted the IDE  but after restart there is no change in appearance  I have checked in appearance settings and everything is the same as before no new theme   I m new to IntelliJ Idea  so I may have missed a step or something  Any ideas

OK I found the problem  I was checking in the wrong place which is for the whole IDE s look and feel at File- gt Settings- gt Appearance The correct place to change the editor appearance is through File- gt Settings- gt Editor- gt Colors  amp Fonts and then choose the scheme there  The imported settings appear there    Note  The theme site seems to have moved
