Choosing Themes

A theme will apply to all slides in a slideshow. To get rid of your theme, choose the blank theme from the gallery. You are not limited to the gallery presets; you can import a theme from your computer. To customize the color scheme of your selected theme, go to the theme colors option under format in the menu bar. After customizing your theme, click the apply to all button in the bottom right corner of the options box.
