-## Theming
-
-You can customize parts of the website by overwriting files in `dist/theme/`
+You can customize your installation by creating and editing `dist/theme/config.theme.js` which allows you to override the default values provided by `dist/config.default.js`. See the `config.theme.js.example` in the same directory for examples.
 
-   * Set a `Page_Title` in the configuration
-   * Logo
-   * Content of Welcome and About&Help page
-   * Additional CSS styling
+The `dist/theme/` directory also contains files make it easy to set a different
+logo image, colors, welcome and help text.
