**This thread is about themes!**

If you are running the ucs\_client.sh in GUI mode, there is a user interface built with the help of the `dialog` command. The `dialog` command offers the option to use different themes when building the UI.

The themes are stored under **/theme/-folder** and we have added all the themes that are shipped with dialog. The themes have following naming:

**\<theme\_name\>.rc**

Themes that are shipped with dialog are:

- debian.rc
- slackware.rc
- sourcemage.rc
- suse.rc
- whiptail.rc

On top of that we modified some of them and also created our own themes:

- slackwareV2.rc (improved slackware.rc)
- sourcemageV2.rc (improved sourcemage.rc)
- ucs\_dark.rc
- ucs\_light.rc

The default theme is the `debian.rc` theme. But you can choose any other theme if you click on Settings-\>Theme in the main menu. **You can even create your own custom theme (just like your own language files) and when you place it in the /theme/-folder the script will automatically include them in the list of available themes.**
