 Close app by tapping the X and scroll by swiping. The border of the pop up changes color if the Bangle is locked. The color depends on your currently active theme.
 
+## Theme support
+
+Using the system theme needs more RAM since it uses a 16 bit color buffer for normal message display. Selecting the "low RAM" theme reduces that to a 4 bit buffer.
+
 ## Low memory mode
 
 If free memory is below a configured number of blocks (default is 4000), the overlay automatically only uses 1 bit depth. Default mode uses roundabout 1300 blocks, while low memory mode uses about 600.
