Managing Site Themes and Images

In addition to site templates and page layouts, you can modify the appearance of your site and site collection using themes. A theme is a collection of colors, fonts, and other design elements that lets you control the look and feel of your SharePoint site. You can select from among a series of default themes and apply them to your site. The application of any theme will have no impact on any portion of a site template or page layout.

Tip

You can also create a custom theme for your site with a SharePoint-compatible design program such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer.

Changing a Site's Theme

Not everyone appreciates the default theme that's applied when you first create a SharePoint site. Fortunately, changing to another theme is quite easy:

  1. On your site, click Site Actions and select Site Settings from the menu.

  2. In the Look and Feel column, click "Site theme."

  3. On the Site Theme page, select the desired theme (Figure 7-17).

    Tip

    Notice that you can examine a preview of the selected style before applying it.

  4. Click Apply to apply the theme to your site.

As you can see, the new style is now applied to the site (Figure 7-18).
