A theme determines the look of your site.
You manage your themes in the Refined Administration > Themes.
The Theme Editor is the tool that you use to create and edit themes.
Theme Editor anatomy

It automatically updates when you make a change in the theme’s settings, so you can play around with your design before publishing it.

Settings tab
To the right of the editor you edit your theme in the Settings tab. Read more about the settings below.
