In addition to the default (ugly and boring) theme, we've got a few, much nicer themes that we've ported from other applications such as WordPress. We'll make them available here, so that you can make your FinScribe installation a little prettier.&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;
To install a new theme, simply download the theme file and untar it into your &lt;b class="bold"&gt;FinScribe/themes&lt;/b&gt; directory. Once you've done that, you'll need to set the &lt;b class="bold"&gt;site.theme&lt;/b&gt; preference to the name of the theme you'd like to use. To do that, do the following:&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;
&lt;div class="code"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;
./fin_serve --hilfe PathToFinScribe yourconfigname&#xD;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;
&#xD;
at the prompt, run the following command:&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;
&lt;div class="code"&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;
  application-&amp;gt;get_sys_pref(&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=darkred&gt;"site.theme"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;)&amp;#91;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=darkred&gt;"Value"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;] = &lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=darkred&gt;"yournewthemename"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;;&#xD;
  quit&#xD;
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;
&#xD;
And that's it! To switch back to the default theme, simply follow the above commands, and use the theme name "default".&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;
Also, it's worth noting that you can customize the sidebar that's included with FinScribe, and used by all of the themes. The sidebar's content is stored in a document called theme/default/portlet-1, and you can access it by going to your site's index page. It will be listed under "P" for "portlet-1.&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;
&lt;h3 class="heading-1"&gt;Writing your own Themes&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
