+## Setting a different theme
+
+To set a different theme, first disable the default theme from Substrate like so:
+
+```lisp
+(setopt substrate-configure-theme t)
+```
+
+Then set your favourite theme. Instead of using `load-theme`, use `substrate-set-theme`, as it will also work when running emacs as a daemon.
+
+```lisp
+(use-package nord-theme
+	:config (substrate-set-theme 'nord))
+```
+
