Hi everyone I am new here. 🤩

I have a problem, I can’t add the theme from CodeMirror to my Code Editor,  
so how do I add a theme from CodeMirror named **erlang-dark**  
into my Atom Code Editor. Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated. 🙏

Best Regards,  
Salman\_Dev

You cannot, in fact, use CodeMirror themes with Atom, if that’s what you are trying to do.
