To define a theme for Riot:
1. Pick a name, e.g. `teal`. at time of writing we have `light` and `dark`.
2. Fork `src/skins/vector/css/themes/dark.scss` to be teal.scss
3. Fork `src/skins/vector/css/themes/_base.scss` to be _teal.scss
4. Override variables in _teal.scss as desired. You may wish to delete ones
which don't differ from _base.scss, to make it clear which are being
overridden. If every single colour is being changed (as per _dark.scss)

Custom Themes
=============
Themes derived from the built in themes may also be defined in settings.
To avoid name collisions, the internal name of a theme is
`custom-${theme.name}`. So if you want to set the custom theme below as the
default theme, you would use `default_theme: "custom-Electric Blue"`.
eg. in config.json:
```
"settingDefaults": {
"custom_themes": [
{
"name": "Electric Blue",
"is_dark": false,
"colors": {
"accent-color": "#3596fc",
