+# Theming a base theme like `Volto Light Theme`
+
+In your Volto addon, create a `theme` folder with the follwing two empty files:
+
+```
+src/
+├── components
+├── index.js
+└── theme
+    ├── _main.scss
+    └── _variables.scss
+```
+
+## Variables
+`_variables.scss`
+
+This is the place to override SCSS variables of the base theme.
+
+```
+$text-color: #000;
+$font-size: 18px;
+$line-height: 24px;
+```
+
+## Main
+`_main.scss`
