Project themes are a set of visual attributes that are applied to all of the screens in your patch 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 patch. These themes are stored globally and can be used for all of your projects.
Tip: Themes are very much like "skins" for your patch. If you'd like to create your own themes, see Screen Dimensions and How Screens Are Drawn for some useful information.
Tip: Themes can also be stored externally such as on a network drive allowing you to share themes between products and developers. See the Additional themes folder preference for further information.
