Once you have selected the combination of colors, graphics and backgrounds that look right to you, you may apply the Theme to your Web by clicking on the Apply button at the bottom of the Themes View. Once the Theme is applied across your site, all the pages in your Web automatically will have a consistent appearance--just as if you had hired a graphics designer to design your Web site.
