Instructions not up to date for Spyder 4

[xhain]

The "How to install" instructions in the Readme.md didn't work for me, so I'm assuming they are not up to date for spyder4.

I'm looking into it now - maybe the problem is on my side. Otherwise I'll post a recommendation on the changes.

It looks like the issue is a change in where Spyder4 store the spyder.ini file; while Spyder3 and under stored it as described here in the root folder, the active .ini now is in config/spyder.ini

See the response to my question in the Spyder issue tracker.

The instructions here should probably be updated to reflect this change.

The previous comment is right, I stumbled almost by chance with the path to my spyder.ini. I found this while wanting to add an appearance or highlightning syntax while using anaconda.

Also, you shouldn't look for the section [color_schemes], but for the [appearance] section.

Addittionally, the tomorrow appearance work, but the atom one dark does not. It seems that forward slashes "/" where changed to hyphen "-" in the names of the appearances. However, doing so with the names is tricky since you can mess up with the necessary forward slashes. What worked for me to implement the atom dark one, was to change the name to atom, and the bits "atom/dark/one" to "atom". I attach a comparative screenshot for clarification. Also if you set the name of the appearance to Atom, you should add it as atom, such as names=[... , 'atom', ...]

PS: excuse the lack of specialized language, I am new and don't know much about this world ;D I hope I was clear enough so that noobs like me can understand and implement the appearance without further troubles.
