Chapter 8. Import & Export Themes
───────────────────────────────────────
The Import and Export Theme features allow you to share themes with other
ShutterBug users. Exporting a theme you have created lets you save and store it for
future use. Importing a theme lets you use and modify a theme you have downloaded
from another source external to ShutterBug's built-in library, or a previously saved
theme. You cannot add, delete, or rearrange the themes in the ShutterBug theme
library. The import and export theme features are only available from the Preview
window.

To Import a Theme
1. Select the Preview tab to open the Preview window.
2. Select Tools --> Import Theme from the Main Menu.
3. Locate the desired theme from the finder window. ShutterBug themes have the
.sbtm file extension.
4. Hit Open. The imported theme will be applied to your entire website immediately.
───────────────────────────────────────
To Export a Theme
1. Select the Preview tab to open the Preview window.
2. Select Tools --> Export Theme from the Main Menu.
3. An Export window will pop up. Name the theme and select the location on your
computer to export it to.
4. Hit Export. The exported theme will be saved to the destination folder.
Tip:
You can easily organize your ShutterBug themes by keeping them altogether in the
same folder and sub-folders. For example, you can create a folder called "SBThemes"
and import and export to that folder to access new themes, replace older themes with
updated ones, and add and delete themes. This will also be handy for uploading and
downloading themes from different sources.

Where to Get More Themes
ShutterBug's theme library includes 45 customizable themes that all contain 5
templates each. You can modify these themes, as well as add, delete, and modify the
templates. Additional themes will be available soon from the following resources:

and download more themes. These themes are all customizable and free. These
themes are currently being updated for the template changes in Version 1.1 and
should be ready very soon. We will notify you of availability at xtralean.com as well as
