cPanel themes provide a new look and feel for cPanel and may also add new features not typically available in cPanel’s default XSkin theme. The screenshots in this guide show the XSkin theme. Although many web hosts use the XSkin theme because it is cPanel’s default theme and is constantly updated to support all of cPanel’s features, there are hosts that choose to use a different theme in order to provide enhanced features or distinguish their hosting plans from other hosts.

Since some hosts use the themes exclusively it is important that you see what they look like and what, if any, special features they offer compared to cPanel’s default XSkin theme. Keep in mind that not all themes support all third‑party add‑ons or all cPanel features.
