Theme Tab
A Theme is a definition of the display characteristics for a diagram, such as the text font used or the background colors of the elements and diagram. You generally create and/or select a theme to apply to all diagrams across the model, but you can apply a different (existing) theme to a selected diagram, using the 'Theme' page of the diagram's 'Properties' dialog.
Themes applied to diagrams are model-based rather than user-based. If the diagram is imported into a model without an applied theme, the global theme will be used instead.
