Summary


In this chapter, we introduced some of the key ideas for applying a different look and feel to your website by switching themes.

We looked at the region architecture provided by the Bartik theme and we experimented with making small theme adjustments via the UI including toggling display elements such as Title and Logo, and color schemes.

We re-themed your Drupal site using the Bootstrap community theme that was published on the drupal.org website and we saw how such themes can provide some significant configuration tools via the administrative UI.
