Apply a Theme to all sub sites in SharePoint 2007

Apply a Theme to all sub sites:(works for MOSS 2007 only, not WSS 3.0)

• Change the top site to the theme of your choice using the normal method in Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Theme.

• Navigate to the top site to see the newly applied theme.

• View the HTML source of the SharePoint page using the theme you want.

• Look for a link tag containing the .css file for the applied theme. It will look something like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" id="onetidThemeCSS" href="/apps/afe/_themes/Belltown/Bell1011-65001.css?rev=12%2E0%2E0%2E4518"/>

• Copy the href value to your clipboard or to a text file if you like. It should look something like:/apps/afe/_themes/Belltown/Bell1011-65001.css

• On your top level site, go to the Site Actions > Site Settings > Master Page screen. Scroll to the bottom where the Alternate CSS URL section is. Select the "Specify a CSS file..." option.

• Paste the path copied from the href above into the text box.

• Check the Reset all sub-sites to inherit this alternate CSS URL option.

• Click OK.

• Navigate to your sub-sites and verify the theme has been applied.
