Rename Theme Templates

We can rename the default filename of the theme template from theme.html. In the ready-to-use theme renaming the theme.html file is used to provide a different theme view for the administrative pages. This change can be done selectively for individual pages by setting a page metadata called...

com.ibm.portal.theme.template.file.name.html

This setting is not inherited along the navigation hierarchy.

We can set the theme template using the Edit Page Properties dialog or the Manage Pages portlet in the Administrative section of the portal.
