Introduction
A theme is a predefined combination of colors, fonts, and effects. Different themes also use different slide layouts. You've already been using a theme, even if you didn't know it: the default Office theme. You can choose from a variety of new themes at any time, giving your entire presentation a consistent, professional look.

Theme elements
Every PowerPoint theme—including the default Office theme—has its own theme elements. Those elements are:

- Theme Effects: These affect the preset shape styles. You can find shape styles on the Format tab whenever you select a shape or SmartArt graphic.
Why use themes?
If you're using a theme, you'll probably find that your presentation looks pretty good. All of the colors will work well together, which means you won't have to spend as much time formatting your presentation. But there's another great reason to use theme elements: When you switch to a different theme, all of these elements will update to reflect the new theme. You can drastically change the look of your presentation in a few clicks.
The Wisp theme and the Integral theme
In our examples above, you can see the effect of applying different themes to the same slide—each theme uses its own fonts and colors. But you may have also noticed that the font and colors of the logo in the bottom-right remained unchanged: This is because they're Standard Colors and Fonts rather than theme elements. Colors and fonts will only update if you're using Theme Fonts or ThemeColors.
Themes and slide layouts
As you can see from the two different Title Slides above, themes can also change various slide layouts. Some themes, like the Wisp theme in the example below, even include additional layouts.
Wisp theme slide layouts and Integral theme slide layouts
If you use a unique slide layout—such as Quote with Caption or NameCard—and then switch to a theme that does not include that layout, it may give unexpected results.
Applying themes
All themes included in PowerPoint are located in the Themes group on the Design tab. Themes can be applied or changed at any time.
To apply a theme:
- Select the Design tab on the Ribbon, then locate the Themes group. Each image represents a theme.
- Click the More drop-down arrow to see all available themes.
- Select the desired theme.Selecting a theme
- The theme will be applied to the entire presentation. To apply a different theme, simply select it from the Design tab.
Once you've applied a theme, you can also select a variant for that theme from the Variants group. Variants use different theme colors while preserving a theme's overall look. Some variants also use different textures, as in the example below.

That's not a problem: You can mix and match colors, fonts, and effects to create a unique look for your presentation. If it still doesn't look exactly right, you can customize the theme any way you want.
If you're new to PowerPoint, you may want to review our lesson on Applying Themes to learn the basics of using themes.
