<para>Use this module to customize your desktop theme and to replace theme items

with items from other themes or from files.</para>

<para>A &tde; desktop theme uses several components or items. Desktop theme components
|

include the background, colors, widget style, icons, fonts, and the screen saver.</para>

<para>This module supports four basic functions: 1) applying themes, 2) installing themes,
|

3) creating new themes, and 4) removing themes.</para>

<para>In the <guibutton>Themes</guibutton> list box on the left is a list of premade

themes currently available on your computer. Use different themes by selecting themes

in the list and then selecting the <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button.</para>

<para>When selecting a theme, a preview image will appear to the right of the list.</para>

<warning><para>Testing and creating new themes is fun but do know that themes are comprehensive
|
|
changes to the desktop. When applying a new theme, many related options are not restored
|
|
when reverting to the previous theme. Generally this is not important to many users who
|
|
accept all components of a theme, but to those who like to customize the desktop using
|
|
individual features, installing new themes will override many desktop customizations.
|
|
To avoid this result requires 1) saving the existing settings as a new theme, 2) manually
|
|
configuring and testing each setting one at a time, or 3) using a backup copy of your Trinity
|
|
profile directory ($TDEHOME, normally $HOME/.trinity).</para></warning>
