====== Theme Library ======

The Theme Library allows you to use pre-defined themes within your projects. These themes can be [[software:gui-designer:theme-library:creating-a-theme|created]] and shared by anyone.\\
Note: Currently sharing is a manual process. We are working on ways to allow full sharing directly within guiDesigner. But for now, you need to share the theme GUI file and all images manually.

===== Accessing the Theme Library =====
There are two ways to access the Theme Library within guiDesigner:
  - Click on the 'world' icon in the Theme Manager window (resize the theme manager window if it is not visible)
  - Select Themes > Theme Library from the main menu

===== Built in Theme Library =====
guiDesigner comes with some built-in themes. [[software:gui-designer:theme-library:built-in-themes|To learn more about the inbuilt themes click here.]]

===== Theme Groups =====
Groups are a collection of GUI Objects which can be dragged and dropped in two ways:
  - Dragged into the project tree - this will create a copy of the group as a new subpage in the open project.
  - Dragged onto an open page/subpage - this will create copies of all the GUI objects within the group (buttons, etc) directly onto the page (rather than creating a subpage).

===== Creating Theme Library Entries =====
See our wiki entry on how to [[software:gui-designer:theme-library:creating-a-theme|create your own Theme Library entries]].
