Global Themes

Two global themes are included in  v5.1.1. They are Nouveau and Nouveau Blue. Global Themes cannot be added or deleted via the  UI. The Nouveau and Nouveau BlueThemes Blue Themes give your form a clear or blue background, respectively and both themes are particularly suited to mobile forms. Global Themes are not included when an application is downloaded.

Create a Custom Theme

Use one of the  global themes as a starting point  to create a custom theme. 

To create a customized theme for a form, follow these basic steps. Some steps require more elaboration and are explained in detail below.

1. Download  one of   global themes (for example, nouveau blue or nouveau) and save the zip file to your desktop.
2. Unzip the zip file.
3. There are several look and feel files in the theme. You can find a list and description of them here. It is recommended that you make and save your custom css changes in the file called common.css—to minimize manual migration steps when upgrading to a new release. Examples of Common Customizations can be found here.
4. Zip the files back as they were. (In other words, don’t use a different directory structure or forget to include files you didn't edit.)
5. Upload the zip file to  as an Application or Designer Theme by clicking the New  icon on the appropriate screen.
6. Create a new form and choose the custom theme from the new form wizard (or if you are editing an existing form, replace the current theme with your newly customized theme).
