Project Settings

Project themes are a set of visual attributes that are applied to all of the screens in your update to give them a uniform look and feel. These attributes include the color, banner styles, images, text fonts and many more. Using a project theme provides a visual consistency throughout your update. These themes are stored globally and can be used for all of your projects.

Tip: Themes are very much like "skins" for your update. If you'd like to create your own themes, see Screen Dimensions and How Screens Are Drawn for some useful information.
