+Lite theme, yet not as much strain on the eyes as a bright or dark theme with red as main color.
+
+## Directions
+
+01. Find out where where your custom directory is (Site Administration, Configuration, Custom File Root Path)
+02. Verify there is no public folder within the custom folder
+03. If there is a public folder already there, make sure that both the css and img directories are created
+04. If they do not exist, create them
+05. To add just the theme and not use the red Gitea logos, copy theme-redsilver.css into the \path\to\custom\public\css folder
+06. If you want to use the logos, make a backup of your existing img folder with `cp -a img img.bak`
+07. Copy all of the logos from public/img into your img folder
+08. Tell Gitea there is a new theme by editing or adding the app.ini file [ui] section:
+```
+[ui]
+THEMES        = gitea,arc-green,redsilver
+DEFAULT_THEME = redsilver
+```
