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

IntelliJ IDEA seems to have reorganized the configurations panel  Now one should go to Editor -  Color Scheme and click on the gears icon to import the theme they want from external  jar files
