+## Creating New Themes
+
+Themes in Navidrome are simple [Material-UI themes](https://material-ui.com/customization/theming/). They are basic JS 
+objects, that allow you to override almost every aspect of Navidrome's UI.
+
+#### Steps to create a new theme:
+
+1) Create a new JS file in this folder that exports an object containing your theme. Create the theme based on the 
+ReactAdmin/Material UI documentation below. See the existing themes for examples. 
+2) Add a `themeName` property to your theme. This will be displayed in the theme selector
+3) Add your new theme to the `ui/src/themes/index.js` file
+4) Start the application, your new theme should now appear as an option in the theme selector
+
+Before submitting a pull request to include your theme in Navidrome, please test your theme thoroughly and make sure 
+it is formated with the [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) rules found in the project (`ui/src/.prettierrc.js`)
+
+#### Resources for Material-UI theming
