We are using K2 5.2 with SharePoint Online and see no means to select a theme.  We'd actually like to establish one of the out of the box themes (probably Lithium or SharePoint 2013) as an initial standard default for all forms, then worry about tweaking the branding later.

 

Right now, the only option in the Style properties is (Custom), which shall we say leaves too much latitude to form creators naive to UI best practices.   I've been through all the corners of the designer and management apps that I could discover and found no option to apply themes to the forms, nor to enforce a default--which is what I really want to do. 

What am I missing in my efforts to have our spanking new Smartforms NOT  look like ransom notes?  ;)

 

Thanks.

Hi BSchrum,

 

The option to select themes is available in your form (not view) properties, however you might want to customise any one of the available themes, which I think it is what you want to do. The link below will help you achieve this, it covers everything you need about registering and deploying a custom theme. After this, the custom theme will be available in a list of themes that are in the form's properties.

 

Registering and deploying custom themes:
