This Wiki will detail how Themes are created for the new Web Store. Themes are variations in color, styling and limited object placement that affect the display of Web Store products and information. (Prior versions of Web Store used the term "templates", but we have switched to using "Themes" both because it is the preferred terminology of the Yii framework that Web Store is built upon, and to differentiate from the old system since the files work differently.)
