### Theme and Theme Editor

For XMind, theme is the collection of colors, shapes, line patterns, and other coordinated graphical attributes of a mind map. We can apply the theme with one step to change the whole mind map's style. Also, theme can be further customised and saved for future use with other maps. By default, XMind has multiple well-designed theme.
