20.1.6.9 theme (Theme)

This element defines the root level complex type associated with a shared style sheet (or theme). This element holds all the different formatting options available to a document through a theme and defines the overall look and feel of the document when themed objects are used within the document.

[Example: Consider the following image as an example of different themes in use applied to a presentation:

DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Drawing.Theme-image001

In this example, we see how a theme can affect font, colors, backgrounds, fills, and effects for different objects in a presentation. end example]
