Applying themes
As theme files store properties at various levels (document, sheet, and object), we can
apply them at various levels too. Let's start with a practical example that shows how
to apply a theme to a complete document:
1.
Open the
NoTheme.qvw
file that is located in the folder
4.Applications\Examples
.
2.
Go to
Settings | Document Properties | Layout
.
3.
Click on the
Apply Theme
button and select the
HighCloudCorporate_
finished.qvt
file from the folder
0.Includes\Themes
.
The result now looks similar to the style we've been using in our own documents.
Notice how, among other things, the background image, colors, and caption settings
have changed once we applied the theme:
As was said before, themes do not always need to be applied to the entire document.
We can apply a theme to a single sheet, by selecting
Settings | Sheet Properties
and
clicking on the
Apply Theme
button on the
General
tab.
We can also apply a theme to a single object (or a group of objects, if we first select
them) by opening the
Object Properties
window (right-click on the object, or group
of objects, and select
Properties...
) and clicking on the
Apply Theme
button on the
Layout
tab.
Now that we've seen how to apply themes, let's see how we can create them.
