TOPIC H
Modifying a Theme and Applying It
to an Individual Page
With a theme applied to your entire web, you will learn in this topic how you can modify a
theme to suit your needs and then apply your new custom theme to just one page.
Themes supplied by FrontPage are great time savers, but they’re not very particular in how
they affect elements on your pages. For example, see Figure 4-4; one of your pages has a
white callout with black text in it. You apply a theme that has a light-colored normal text.
Because themes don’t affect drawn elements, the callout remains white, but the normal text in
the callout becomes light—making the text nearly impossible to read. The ability to customize
a theme’s colors will help you avoid this problem.

Procedure
Reference:
Every item in a theme can be modified. You can change entire color schemes
from other themes or you can modify just the color of an individual element,
such as a theme’s background color. You can change which graphics and label
fonts a theme uses, too, and even the text styles’ colors for the various styles.
To modify a theme:
