Editing Custom Themes

Once you’ve created a custom theme, you can continue to refine it by editing it whenever you want.

 

Here’s How

  1. Open the custom theme gallery. (Remind me how.)

  2. Select the custom theme you want to change.

    Select a custom theme to change

    Tip: Abandon your changes at any time by clicking Reset. This returns your tab to all the colors of the most recently saved theme.

    Click Reset to abandon your changes without saving them.

  3. Change the color and/or background image of one or more components of the theme as described in Creating Custom Themes and Using Images as Backgrounds.

  4. To change the name of a theme, click the arrow to the right of the name and select Rename from the menu.

    Select Rename from the menu.

  5. Enter a new name (with a maximum of eight characters) and press Enter.

    Enter a new name, then press Enter

  6. When you’ve made all the changes you want, click the I’m Done button.

    Click the I’m Done button.

    Your custom theme is saved with the new color scheme. Click OK.

    Click OK.

    Note: Unlike editing an existing predefined theme, editing a custom theme doesn’t create a new theme—it just changes one you already have.

 

What’s Next

If you ever get tired of a theme you’ve created, give it a rest. Just use a different theme for a while—your personal themes will remain in the custom gallery until you need them again, or until you delete them.
