To Create Your Own Theme
If you have favorite effects that you would like the Wizard to use, try creating your own custom theme. This is especially handy if you use the Wizard frequently to make specific kinds of shows. For example, if you use the Wizard to make shows with wedding images, create a theme that only uses slide styles and effects that you feel will work best with that type of content.
Click the Add icon.
Enter a name for the new theme.
Choose your Start With option. This will help get your theme up and running by adding effects to it.
Selecting the Use the default set of effects option will create a new theme that features all effects installed on your system.
Selecting the Use the effects selected in the current theme option will create a new theme that has the same effects as whatever theme you currently have selected in the content box. This is a great way to create a new version of an existing theme – just select the theme you’d like to copy, and Add a new show using the current theme.
Click Ok.
The Edit Theme window will open next, displaying all available effects.
The list on the left shows all the different categories of Slide Styles and Transitions you have installed. Styles will be listed first. To see the transitions that can be used in the theme, scroll down to the transition categories.
To add an effect to your theme, simply check the box next to the name of the effect.
To remove an effect from a theme, uncheck the box. After you have finished, click Apply to create the theme.
Note: If you create a theme that has the same name as an existing theme, the older theme will be replaced by the newly created theme.
For best results, be sure that your new themes include a good selection of styles and effects. The wizard has to pick effects from your theme for a variety of energy levels and durations. Themes with lots of effects enabled will generally produce better shows than themes with just a few effects.
To Customize an Exisiting Theme
Any theme used in the Wizard can be customized, including the built-in themes. Simply select the theme you would like to customize and click the Edit icon. Editing a theme lets you remove an effect that you might not like, or add additional effects you think would work well.
Check any effects you would like to add to the theme, or uncheck any effects you would like to no longer be included and press the Apply button to save the changes.
