Themes
are the FrontPage equivalent of CSS, Cascading Style Sheet.
A theme can be set for the entire Web Site, and then individual pages can
be set for a different theme or no theme. The theme used on this page is called
Nature. Note the selections at the top and bottom of the
left pane of the Choose Theme dialog box.
Use Theme Designer to
modify existing themes or create your own.
A FrontPage theme consists of unified design elements and color schemes
for bullets, fonts, images, navigation bars, and other page elements. When applied, a
theme gives the pages and navigation bars in your FrontPage web an attractive and
consistent appearance.
You apply a theme to all pages in the current FrontPage web in the FrontPage Explorer's
Themes View. Once a theme has been applied, you can change to a different theme, or remove
the theme. You also apply, change, or remove themes page-by-page in the FrontPage Editor
using the Theme command on the Format menu.
In both the FrontPage Explorer and the FrontPage Editor, the Theme Preview pane lets you
preview sample page elements as they will appear on your Web pages. You can preview a
theme before applying it by selecting it from the list of available themes. FrontPage
includes over 50 themes.
Before applying a theme, you can select options that change the appearance
of the theme's components. For example, selecting Vivid Colors will apply brighter colors
to text and graphics, selecting Active Graphics will animate certain theme components, and
selecting Textured Background will apply a textured background image to the pages in your
FrontPage web. Want to create your own themes or modify existing themes ... use Theme Designer.
