You can only modify custom themes, not the built-in themes. So, if there’s a built-in theme you would like to modify, you first need to clone it as a custom theme. Click to view it, then click on “Copy to” (next to “Edit”), then “New Theme”. This will display the code for editing, and allow you to give the theme a new name. This will now be a custom theme, and you can come back and edit it at any time. ---
