    The theme panel closes automatically after selecting a theme
  2. Customize the items you want to change in the theme.

Link the theme to a page or app

Once you have created a theme, it is not yet linked to a page or app. You can link a theme to one or more pages or apps so that it becomes visible on the relevant page or app.

    The text changes into an input field
  3. Change the theme name
  4. Click once outside the input field (or on enter) to save the name

Duplicate a theme

If you want to create a theme that is very similar to another theme, you can make a copy of a theme.

  1. Open the theme panel
  2. Mouse over the theme you want a copy of
  3. Click on the duplicate icon (see figure 1)
    By default, the copy will be named after the copied theme with the word "copy" after it.

Delete a theme

  2. Mouse over the theme you want to remove
  3. Click on the delete icon
    Any pages or apps linked to the theme will be linked back to the base theme
