Previewing a Theme while working on it

This has to be covered in the docs somewhere but I simply cannot find out.

When I’m working on a Theme, what’s the best way to preview it?

I was looking for a way to install the Extension from the local disk but nothing jumped out. Given Nova’s excellent support for previewing HTML/CSS, I thought there might be a special “theme previewer” mode but I also couldn’t find that. I’m sure this is a solved problem but I’m not asking the right questions of the search engine.

Hello Alex,

With your extension project open, if you choose “Activate Extension…” from the Extensions menu, it should load the theme into the Themes preferences pane of Nova where you can select it. If you then make changes to the theme file, it should reload automatically on save and preview your changes live.

That works great. Thank you!
