You can modify a theme using your own graphics, color sets, and styles. For example you can change a theme's background picture or page banner's font.

   FrontPage 2000 & 2002:   In the theme list, click a theme you want to change. Click Modify button.

   FrontPage 2003: In the Theme task pane, point to the thumbnail for the theme you want to change, and then click the arrow.  Click Customize.

2. Change the font size for your page banner or navigation bars:

   Click Graphics button.  Select Font tab.  In the Item box, click the down arrow, and then select Banner, Horizontal Navigation or Vertical Navigation.  You need to change them in both Normal Graphics view and Active Graphics view.

3. Change the font color or background color:

   Click Colors button.  Select Custom tab.  In the Item box, select an item.  In the Color list, select a color.  Save your changes.

4. Change theme graphics:

When you have finished editing a theme, click Save As to save the theme as a new theme, or click Save to overwrite the original theme with your changes. Note that you cannot overwrite the original FrontPage themes that are shipped on the FrontPage compact disc. These themes are read-only.
