About Themes

At their most basic level, themes affect the look and feel of SyteLine. You can create your own themes or use one of the two system themes that are supplied.

NOTE: There are significant differences in the way themes are handled in the WinStudio smart client and in the web clients. Most of this topic addresses the WinStudio client. The web clients recognize only theme settings related to foreground colors, background colors, fonts, and required field indicators. They do not recognize settings pertaining to the Explorer,  tabbed layout, group boxes, notebook tabs, or the display of the main menus.

You can change the look of these components:

What can be changed for each component is different, and you can see what can be changed in the Theme Editor. Attributes that can be changed include but are not limited to text and background color and font family, size and style.

In the Theme Editor, you can also determine the Explorer style, the group box style, the notebook style, and whether there is a required field indicator.
