Themes

Topic updated 12-6-2007

The ASP.NET 2.0 Templates use ASP.NET 2.0 Themes to control the visual appearance of generated applications. Themes can be chosen in various  locations in an ASP.NET project:

A default Theme can be set in the ASP.NET Project Template.
When using the Wizard you can choose a Theme to be used for added pages.
The Theme to be used can be selected per Page Template (by default the Theme set in the project template is used).
A Theme can be selected for the Master Page Template.

 

In the generated source code of the ASP.NET project, Theme files reside in the App_Themes subdirectory of the web application's root directory.

 

The How to use Themes topic covers the basics of modifying and adding Themes.
