About applying a theme to a Datasheet view

A theme is a set of unified design elements and color schemes for bullets, fonts, horizontal lines, background images, and other Datasheet view elements. A theme helps you to easily create professional and well-designed Datasheet views.

Here is the order in which the view retrieves theming information for its elements:

• Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services page style sheet

  By default, the Datasheet view will inherit the theme that is applied to the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services page that contains the view.

• Microsoft Internet Explorer settings

  Note  Text size and color settings for links specified in Internet Explorer will not affect the Datasheet view.

• Microsoft Windows System Display settings

  Note  When you change the theme settings in Internet Explorer or Windows, the view does not get updated until you refresh the view.

You can also apply themes to a view by opening it in Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003. For more information, see FrontPage Help.
