Change and Customize Theme

Apply a Theme

A mind map theme is a collection of the default format settings used for the various types of elements in your mind map, including theme colors, theme fonts (both heading and body text fonts), and theme effects (both lines and fill effects).

To find the Theme button and see all inbuilt themes, you can

• Go to Page Style tab > Theme, and open the drop-down menu;
• Navigate to Format pane and click the first icon on the top of the pane.

When you put the cursor on the thumbnails, the theme of the mind map will be changed correspondingly. Once you find your favorite theme, just click its thumbnail and the new theme should be shown on your mind map.

To create a custom theme in EdrawMind, you can

1. Click Custom Theme button under Page Style tab or on the Page Format pane.

2. Click Create Theme on the drop-down menu;
3. Modify, format and style different elements of a mind map in the Custom Theme dialog box

You can go to Page Style tab or Formatpane to find Rainbow option.

Hand-Drawn Style

The default effect of a map is Normal Style. A hand-drawn style turns the default lines and shape borders into natural wavy lines and gives the map a hand-drawn look.
