Create and modify map themes

You can save the default format settings for the current map to a theme file (.mmas) that you can re-use. The Theme file contains the default format settings for all objects on the map. It does not contain any of the content. You can change the default formatting settings as you format the map.

The map theme contains the default format settings for:

• Central topic, main topics and subtopics (by level)

• Org-chart topics and their subtopics

• Callout topics and their subtopics

• Floating topics and their subtopics

• Floating Org-Chart topics and their subtopics

• Boundaries

• Relationships

• Map background

• Notes (the default font)

You can apply a theme to the current map at any time.

• Create a map theme from the current map's default format settings
• Modify an existing map theme

Create a theme from the current map's default format settings

You can save the current map's theme to the folder used by the organizer, or to a different location.

1. Adjust the map's default formatting settings to your liking.

2. On the File tab, click Save & Send, click Change File Type, and then click Save as MindManager Map Theme.

3. Save the file.

• The Theme you save will not appear in the Organizer unless you save it in the default location.
  Make a note of this location in case you want to apply this theme to another map from the file, add it to the Organizer, or send it to another user.

• You can also create Map Themes and manage them from the Organizer.

Modify an existing Map theme

When you open an existing map theme, it is automatically displayed in Modify Theme view, where you can make changes to the theme's format settings.

• Click Open, and in the Files of Type list select Mindjet MindManager Themes.
  Navigate to the theme you want to modify, and then click Open.

The theme opens in a special view that lets you change the format settings of the theme. See Use Modify Theme view for more information on using this view. (You can also use this view to modify the theme of the current map).

• You can also modify Map Themes and manage them from the Organizer.
