Applying a theme to your desktop customizes the appearance of multiple parts of your desktop according to a common design theme. Setting a theme changes the color, wallpaper, sounds, icons, window borders, Title Bars and window button layouts of the desktop. Corel LINUX has several preset desktop themes in the Theme Manager that you can use. You can preview a theme to see how it looks, and apply it to your desktop. When you apply a desktop theme, you can choose which elements of the scheme to customize. You can add themes to the Theme Manager from other file sources such as a desktop theme that you have downloaded to your file system from the Internet. You can also remove desktop themes.
