How do I change a Control node's Theme with set_theme()?

I can't make heads nor tails from the documentation. Is this at least close?:

the_control_node.set_theme(load("res://Themes/NewTheme.theme"))

Nothing happens, but I also don't get an error. Ultimately, I'm trying to apply a different theme to an HSlider.

EDIT: This page - https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/classes/class_control.html?highlight=set_theme#property-descriptions - lists 'set_theme' as a setter for Theme under which it says, "Changing this property replaces the current Theme resource this node and all its Control children use." In Godot 3.1 itself, "set_theme" doesn't seem to exist in the Help. So maybe it's not actually implemented yet.

var t = Theme.new()
t.set_color("font_color", "Label", Color(1.0, 1.0, 1.0))

var l = Label.new()
l.set_theme(t)

Probably worth trying to do the same and loading into a variable then setting the theme with that variable, similar to the example above.

That looks like it only changes one aspect of the node, not the entire theme for the node. But I appreciate the response!

I mean instead of creating a new theme in code do var t = load("res://Themes/YourThemeName.theme") then YourNode.set_theme(t)

If that doesn't solve the issue then you might need to look into ResourceLoader perhaps instead?
