Answer:

SharePoint Themes represents a collection of graphics and cascading style sheets that can modify how a Web site looks. Themes can be customized using SharePoint Designer or using the Visual Studio 2008 extensions for SharePoint.

To apply a new theme, click on "Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings". Under the "Look and Feel" section choose "Themes". You will find the selection of available themes to apply to your site.


Developing custom site themes:

1) Developers can install the set of ten Visual Studio 2008 extensions for SharePoint projects containing design themes for SharePoint provided by Microsoft as a starting point for developing a custom theme.

2) You can download theme templates from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0a87658f-20b8-4dcc-ad7a-09ad22641f3a

3) Navigate to the installed theme folder (the default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\TenThemesForSharePoint)

4) Open one of the Visual Studio theme solutions in Visual Studio 2008.

5) Modify the CSS classes directly in theme.css classes as needed.

6) Drop in the necessary graphics/images into the projects local image directory.

7) Build the project.


Deploying custom themes:

1) Copy the Visual Studio project’s bin folder to your production server.

2) Locate the setup.bat file in the debug folder.

3) Open the setup.bat file in Notepad and modify the DefaultWebUrl and DefaultSiteUrl to point to the web application where you would like to install the theme.

4) Save setup.bat and run as administrator.

5) Navigate to a site and from the Site settings page select Site features, locate your theme and activate the feature.

6) Open your portal site as Administrator and go to "Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Modify All Site Settings". Under the Look and Feel Section, click on "Site Themes" and choose the newly installed theme.
