Instructions for Importing a Theme

Once you have downloaded a theme, locate it on your computer and import it either

directly into your ShutterBug project, or import it into the theme library to store it and

use it at a later date.

How to Import a Theme:

1. Open your ShutterBug project and click the Preview tab to open the Preview window.

2. From the main menu, select Tools->Import Theme. A finder window will open

prompting you to select the theme from its location on your computer.

3. Once you have selected the theme, click the Open button. A menu will ask you

whether to replace the entire theme or to add the theme to the existing theme. Select the

desired option and the theme will be applied to your current ShutterBug project.

1. Open your ShutterBug project and click the Preview tab to open the Preview window.

2. Click the Select Theme button to open the Theme Library window.

3. Select the desired folder (or create a new folder) to import the theme to. Then click

the Import Theme button. A finder window will open prompting you to select the theme

from its location on your computer.

4. Once you have selected the theme, click the Open button. The theme will now be in

the chosen folder in your theme library for storage and fast access at anytime.

5. To add the theme to your current ShutterBug project, simply hit Apply Theme from

within the library window.

6. A menu will ask you whether to replace the entire theme or to add the theme to the

existing theme. Select the desired option and the theme will be applied to your current

ShutterBug project.

For more information on importing and exporting themes, and using the theme library,

see Chapter 9. The Theme Library in the online user manual.

Every ShutterBug theme comes packed with 4-6 templates for easy and quick

customization of pages. Once you have imported a theme, be sure to check out each

template for your layout of preference:

1. From the Preview window, click the Select Template button. The template drawer will

slide out from the side of the main preview window revealing a list of templates.

2. Click on each template heading in the drawer to view the different layouts. Select

different templates for different pages to customize your pages.

Every theme and its templates are fully customizable from within ShutterBug's Layout

window:

1. Click the Layout tab to open the window containing the layout design tools. Use the

tools to modify the desired elements in a selected template. NOTE: If you change a

template that is used by multiple pages in your site, be aware that all changes made to

that template will be applied to all pages that use that same template.

2. To keep changes independent and unique to a specific page only, click the '+' button at

the bottom of the template drawer to add a new template. Then begin changing each

element on the selected page.

For more information on using the Layout tools and editing templates, see Chapter 6 and

Chapter 7 in the online user manual.
