Captivate 6 introduces this new feature called Themes. Captivate ships with a few ready-to-use Themes right out of the box. In order to have a better idea of what a Theme is, let's start with some simple experiments using those predefined Themes:
1. Once in Captivate, use the File | New Project | Blank Project menu item to create a new blank project. You can also use the Blank Project link on the right-hand side of the Welcome screen, if the Welcome screen is visible.
2. In the New Blank Project dialog, use the Select drop-down menu to choose a size of 800 x 600 for the project. When done, click on the OK button.
Captivate creates a new blank project of the chosen size. A single slide is automatically added to the Filmstrip (1) This slide already contains a bunch of elements. Notice the Themes Panel (2) that spans across the entire width of the stage, as shown in the following screenshot:
