  "background": "#1B1F2B",
  "foreground": "#FFFFFF",
  "comment": "#68C147",
  "keyword": "#569CD6",

Implementation Notes

1. The theme configuration is read when opening files
2. If JSON parsing fails, XediX falls back to built-in themes
3. Missing properties will use default values
4. Changes require reopening files to take effect

Built-in Theme Configuration

XediX provides several built-in themes that can be configured using simple string values in theme.xcfg. To use a built-in theme, simply write the theme name in theme.xcfg.
