Atom Editor: theme/syntax per project or open window

I want to have multiple UI themes and syntax themes for my different projects in the Atom Editor, i.e. a theme for each open window How can I do this? Presently, changing one in the preferences will change it for all open windows.

I installed the project-manager plugin and tried to add an entry to the ~/.atom/projects.cson file as shown below, but it seems to have no effect.

project1:
  title: "project1"
  paths: [
    "/Users/abcd/coding/trials/project1"
  ]
  themes: [
    "atom-dark-ui"
    "monokai"
  ]

Anything else that I should try?

Just boosting the fact that the Project Manager package mentioned here is necessary to even try, and so necessary for the accepted answer to work. - mlncn

The following should work

project1:
  title: "project1"
  paths: [
    "/Users/abcd/coding/trials/project1"
  ]
  settings:
    core:
      themes: [
        "atom-dark-ui"
        "monokai"
      ]

Cheers!
