Theming brings your design settings from the Console into the WalkMe Editor and WalkMe Apps. You can view and adjust how the theme applies to each item, detach individual elements when needed, and design WalkMe Apps like Surveys and the Action Bar directly from the Theming app.
Theming is applied to all of your editor content. Go to Customize content style to see how it affects your balloons and SmartTips.

In the Balloon tab, you can see the active theme applied to your balloons.

You can change the highlighter color to be any of the theme colors.

You can also detach from the theme if you want your content not be affected by the theme.

For example, if you detach the highlighter color from the theme, it'll stay to be this color (in this case - pink Primary, Main) even if you change the theme in console.

You can save the edited template as new, and it'll appear in the User Templates tab.
