Theme in Asp.net Web Application

Themes are introduced in ASP.NET 2.0 to counter the troubles faced by developers to define the layout of server controls and make them look coherent to the overall application, with minimum possible efforts. Default or Globalthemes are contained in a special folder inside the framework and can be declared in the source as well as class files. However, custom made themes can also be saved inside the predefined "App_Themes" folder inside ASP.NETapplications, making them easier to manage and interpolate according to your needs. The essential part of themesare skin files with .skin extension. Besides skin files, a theme can be composed of styles sheets .css files as well as images for added support for the layout of the website.
