Themes Overview
Themes determine the color palette and default visual cues applied to the elements in a grid.
Themes can be set using attribute syntax or property element syntax through a view's Theme property (see Examples 1 and 2 in Views and Themes Overview). If a theme is not specified, the system-color theme will be used. In either case, if the system-color theme is not recognized (e.g., a third-party color palette is being used), the Aero normal-color theme will be used.
To change the view and theme using attribute syntax or property element syntax, the name of the view and (optionally) theme to use must be set (see Table 1).
