\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Components of a PowerPoint Theme
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A theme consists of a set of colors, fonts, effects & background styles. Blend of these components works together to create effective & interesting presentations. These components can be seen in the ribbon under Design tab. Click on the Colors button, for example, and it will display all the theme color combinations in the dialog box that can be used by the themes available for use.

\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow the steps below to create a new color scheme, create a combination of fonts, select an effect and then save all those settings as a new PowerPoint theme.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Theme Colors
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To create a new color scheme:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Click Design > Themes > Colors > Create New Theme Colors. In the Create New Theme Colors<\/em> window there are a number of different attributes we can assign colors to.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\/
\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

You can assign those colors by clicking on the color selector from the drop down list to the right of each element. At the bottom of the dialog box you can assign the color scheme a name.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Click save once you have configured the color for different attributes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Theme Fonts
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After Colors, next step is to create a combination of fonts. We can select the fonts that we want to use in our new theme.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

To select a new Theme Font:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Click Design > Themes > Fonts > Create New Theme Fonts.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\/
\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

Select the font for the headings and the font to appear for the slides’ body text. Font selection can be saved by a custom name.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Click save once you have selected the font settings.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Theme Effects
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Theme effects are sets of lines and fill effects. You can select one of the forty pre-made effects to apply to the PowerPoint theme.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Click Design > Themes > Effects, and click on the effect you want to use.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\/
\n\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

Saving Your PowerPoint Theme
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now that we have created all components of a PowerPoint theme, it’s time to assemble them all i.e. to integrate these components as a theme and save it.
