So i use notepad++ as a code editor, But i have a little issue with the styles, I'm using a theme called "obsidian" but i want to customize it a little, And i have a few times, But it always goes back to the normal obsidian theme when i restart..Any idea what's causing that? what i'm changing is the colors of comments and instruction words (function, end, if etc.) in the lua language specifically. Then i hit save & close. But when i restart notepad it goes back to normal (like i said already). So yeah..any idea what to do here? Thanks in advance.

Copy the theme to a new file. Call it "my awesome theme" or something.

I actually figured out what the problem was, The program didn't have permission to change the files since they're in program files, so all i had to do was to run as administrator to change stuff.
