 ## Theme Ignores
 
-A new settings page that provide the ability to ignore certain theme properties of _External Themes_ and use the native ones instead (Useful, for instance, when external themes provide colors not in coordinance with the rest of the IDE, or when they don't provide ones).
+Sometimes an external theme doesn't quite get the colors right, or it misses some parts of the IDE. With the new **Theme Ignores** page, you can choose to ignore specific theme properties and stick with the native ones instead. It's perfect for fixing those annoying color clashes.
