Themes are a collection of pages, styles, images, assets, and functionality that can be applied to your store to give it a different look and feel.
Some themes are available to all stores, while other advanced themes are reserved for Platinum and Diamond stores.

Applying themes
When you change themes, all of the theme pages and styles for your current theme are overwritten.
If you’ve done a bit of customization already, you may want to back them up first, just in case you want to go back to them later. To back up your theme, use the "Download your theme" link in the "Assets" section of the Toolbox to get a zip file of all your current theme’s assets.
Reverting your theme
If you've changed your theme and want to revert back, simply upload your saved zip file and presto!
Creating your own theme
The default themes not cutting it for ya? No problem. If you’re a Platinum or Diamond store, you can Download one of our themes to get you started, or you can create your own theme from scratch using our powerful Mini Toolbox.
When you’re finished creating & testing your new theme, zip it up using winzip and upload it through the "Assets" section again.
Additional images and assets
If your custom theme requires some additional files, you can upload them to your own server or 3rd-party file host and link to them in your store using their full URL.
