How do I apply a design theme?

A design theme sets the course's colours and fonts in one go. Xogogy comes with five: Default Studio, Ocean Breeze, Editorial Forest, Warm Amber and High Contrast Light.

Try and apply a theme from the ribbon

1. #

   Open the Design tab. The Themes gallery shows each theme as a set of colour swatches.

2. #

   Point at a theme, or move to it with the keyboard, to preview it on the slide. Nothing in the course changes.

3. #

   Choose the theme to apply it. Existing slides are restyled from the old theme to the new one, your own colours stay, and a note says what was restyled. Ctrl+Z undoes it in one step.

Theme colours, Theme fonts and Theme beside the gallery open the theme settings in Course settings › Player & appearance.

Bring older plain objects up to the theme

Applying a theme restyles colours and fonts that came from the old theme. Older plain objects, such as white flip cards or shapes with no style of their own, can still look out of place. Choose Course look: this slide or Course look: all slides beside the Design › Themes gallery to give them the theme styles. See How do I give older plain objects the course look?.

To fine-tune the result, change theme colours and fonts.
