# Themes

Colour, font, and formatting settings can be bundled together under the concept of a Theme. When you select a theme, all document elements with a theme attribute automatically inherit those settings.

To access this command...

#### From the menu bar:

Choose Format - Themes.

#### From the sidebar:

Open the Design panel.

## Theme colours

Theme colours consist of a set of twelve base colours, each with five internally calculated variations. These colours are defined solely by their RGB values, and saved to the document file. An object’s colour can be assigned by referencing a colour from the Theme colours set, either by keyword or index, depending on the context. The base colour names are

- Dark 1, Light 1, Dark 2, Light 2,

- Accent 1, Accent 2, Accent 3, Accent 4, Accent 5, Accent 6,

- Hyperlink, FollowedHyperlink

You need to save the document with the ODF 1.3 extended format or later to use themes.

The new feature has been mainly implemented for the import and export filter with MS Office.
