  <!-- I'm not sure if I should link to the wiki for this chunk of help, or if
  I should describe it here.  I'm linking to the wiki for now because the wiki
  page includes downloads and screenshots. I'm open to including the help here,
  though. -->
    <p>You can also use color schemes that have been created by others, or
    create and use your own color schemes.</p>
    <p>Instructions on how to install custom color schemes, as well as examples
    of color schemes that you can download and use, are available on the

    wiki</link>.</p>
