A theme controls the look and the layout of a place
-- that is, where the navigational controls appear, how an element looks when
it is selected, background colors, fonts, and so on. IBM® Lotus® Quickr delivers
several out-of-the-box themes you can use. When you create a place, you can
accept the default theme or change the theme by choosing from a gallery of
predefined themes. If you use one of the older place themes (such as a Quickplace
6.5 or 7.0 type), you can redecorate, or tweak, its appearance
also.
Each theme is composed of a group of layouts that define
the appearance of specific Lotus Quickr place components. For
example, the layout for an item differs from the layout of a folder, but they
will probably share some style elements as part of a common theme. Using a
custom theme, you can give your place a strong brand identity, design it to
look like other corporate sites, or supply additional functionality as well
as a unique look.
You can also create a custom look for your place by modifying an existing
theme or by creating a new theme.
