 Theme styles control the details of the look and feel of your site. A few different Theme styles are included with bitweaver, and it is easy to create your own. You can choose among Theme styles by selecting Administration -> Themes -> Theme Manager and then clicking the Site Style tab. The files that make up a theme style include css files, templates, and icons. These files are found in /themes/styles/<stylename>/. Creating your own theme is most easily accomplished by starting by cloning an existing theme. Cascader is our most clean theme and highly recommended as a starting point. See our ((ThemeTutorial)) for details on how to create your own theme style.

 Each theme style has at least one css file. The primary css file resides in the style directory and is named after the style. For example: /themes/styles/foostyle/foostyle.css
 
-Each theme can also have multiple variations; such as different color schemes. This is valuable if you want to allow users or groups to pick their own theme variation. Alternate css styles go in an alternates directory in the theme style; for example:
-/themes/styles/foostyle/alternates/bluebackground.css
-/themes/styles/foostyle/alternates/orangebackground.css

 You can also turn on and off selections of overall layout. Each package has different display Modes: display, list, edit, upload, admin. You can disable column presentation on a package and package mode basis. Select Administration -> Themes -> Column Control to tune the display of module areas.
 
 !!Layout Style
-You can rearrange the layout of the three middle module areas: left column, center, and right column by changing your Layout Style. Most themes shipped with bitweaver support this method of layout selection. Themes that support the layout style selection have a note of it in the description. This option lets you choose between fixed layouts, liquid layouts, having fixed or auto expanding areas, putting both columns to one side or another, etc. These options are most intuitive to understand by simply looking at the menu. Select Administration -> Themes -> Themes Manager and then the Style Layout tab.
