-We also recommend installing and configuring [`@sumup/eslint-plugin-circuit-ui`](Packages/eslint-plugin-circuit-ui/Docs) and [`@sumup/stylelint-plugin-circuit-ui`](Packages/stylelint-plugin-circuit-ui/Docs). The plugins will lint [Circuit UI custom properties](Features/Theme/Docs) and will include codemods for future Circuit UI breaking changes.

 ### Configuring the theme
 
-SumUp's default themes are part of the [@sumup/design-tokens](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sumup/design-tokens) package. In most cases, they should cover your needs. Refer to the [Theme documentation](Features/Theme/Docs) to learn how to use and customize the theme.

-To make the theme available to Circuit UI, wrap the root of your application in the `ThemeProvider` from Emotion and add the `BaseStyles` component:
+To make the theme available to Circuit UI, import the theme styles _before_ the component styles:
 
 ```tsx
-// _app.tsx for Next.js or App.js for CRA
-import { ThemeProvider } from '@emotion/react';
-import { light } from '@sumup/design-tokens';
-import { BaseStyles } from '@sumup/circuit-ui';
-
-export default function App() {
-  return (
-    <ThemeProvider theme={light}>
-      <BaseStyles />
-      {/* Your app */}
-    </ThemeProvider>
-  );
-}
-```
-
-#### Typing the theme
-
-If you're using TypeScript, you might run into type conflicts when using the `theme` prop:
-
-```
-Type 'Theme' is not assignable to type 'ThemeArgs'.ts(2322)
+// /app/layout.tsx or /pages/_app.tsx for Next.js
+import '@sumup/design-tokens/light.css';
+import '@sumup/circuit-ui/styles.css';
 ```
 
-Type the theme by extending the `@emotion/react` module declaration, for example in a new `types/emotion.d.ts` file (make sure the file is included in `typeRoots` in your `tsconfig.json`):
-
-```ts
-// types/emotion.d.ts
-import { Theme as CircuitTheme } from '@sumup/design-tokens';
-import {} from '@emotion/react/types/css-prop'; // See https://github.com/emotion-js/emotion/pull/1941
-
-declare module '@emotion/react' {
-  // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-empty-interface
-  export interface Theme extends CircuitTheme {}
-}
-```
-
-This will also enable Intellisense for the theme object.
-
-For more information, refer to [Emotion's TypeScript documentation](https://emotion.sh/docs/typescript#define-a-theme).

 ### Configuring the viewport
 
 Finally, make sure that the viewport meta tag includes `viewport-fit=cover`, and that your app has the right padding to render inside [CSS safe areas](<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/env()>):
 
 ```tsx
-// _app.tsx for Next.js or App.js for CRA
-import { ThemeProvider } from '@emotion/react';
-import { light } from '@sumup/design-tokens';
-import { BaseStyles } from '@sumup/circuit-ui';
-import Head from 'next/head'; // Add the meta tag directly in index.html with CRA
+// /app/layout.tsx or /pages/_app.tsx for Next.js
+import '@sumup/design-tokens/light.css';
+import '@sumup/circuit-ui/styles.css';
+import Head from 'next/head';
