I downloaded the color themes that can be selected through the editor. When I select a style and press ok my project stays the same.

Your post is still missing tons of information.
Please post the steps you're executing and the expected outcome.
Also post version of cb and os.

Sorry I was a t work... You know  colour_themes.config... I downloaded the zip... I ran CB_share_config.exe with Linux ... Suso cb_share_config... I put colour_theme.config on the left and default on the right...transfer...save(I did implement this reverse first)...I open  code blocks... Head to settings...editor... I select syntax highlighting ... All color themes are present( modnokai night shift v1&2...)... I pick a style and press ok but the template doesn't execute... I'm really trying to practice coding, what am I doing wrong??
Also when I start...#include <iostream> there's a red line under it ... Don't now if that might mean something

What happens if you open the editor settings again? Is the correct theme still selected?

To the OP and CB Devs:

Just to rule out a possible newbie communication mistake; I believe the colour theme changes are supposed to ONLY effect the look of the Code::Blocks IDE; I believe it has NO effect on the program generated by the compiler used by Code::Blocks.

Can someone confirm this to the OP and me?

I have never used the CB color themes; so, I might be wrong.

Not sure what is going on then. Can you show me a screenshot of the settings dialog?

Still nothing... And when I start to include libraries they're underlined in red

It is normally, an spell check issue causing the underlined in red.
Did NOT look at the images; too slow of internet and too small of a monitor.

Set a proper extension an it will work. At the moment your file doesn't have extension.
Also you can check if the proper highlight mode is selected in the edit -> highlight mode.
And next time you're asked to provide a screenshots please use the screen shot taking program in your os instead of your phone.
It will produce a lot better images.
