→What is a Desktop Theme?
The ''theme'' of a desktop defines how various aspects of the desktop appear. Each theme contains a number of different categories which define how different aspects of the desktop appear:
* '''Controls''' - Defines how items such as pushbuttons, toggle toggles and sliders appear.
* '''Colors''' - Specifies the color scheme of windows, input boxes, selected items and tooltips. A different color is specified for each item.
* '''Window Border''' - The design style of the border surrounding each window on the desktop.
* '''Icons''' -Defines the design of icons which appear on the desktop (for example Folder. , Trash and My Computer icons).
* '''Pointer''' - Defines the size and style of the mouse pointer icon.
A number of different themes are installed by default with Fedora. In addition, a wide range of other themes are available for download. A In addition, a theme can may be further customized if you do not like a certain aspect of a particular theme.
Note that themes are not considered to be a system-wide setting. This means that changes made to the current theme affect only the currently logged in user. Other users will still see their preferred theme when they log in.
