Applying Themes to Entire Diagrams

The quickest way to add polish to a diagram is to use a theme—a set of coordinated colors and effects that Visio applies to all the shapes and text in a diagram, including backgrounds and borders. Effect themes include font, fill, pattern, shadow, and line formatting. Color themes include fill formatting for shapes. You can combine color and effect themes in a diagram. After you choose from any of the themes in the Theme – Colors or Theme – Effects task pane, Visio applies the theme immediately; if you don’t like the result, you can simply choose a different theme.
