As promised by Microsoft at the SharePoint Virtual Summit and announced by Mark Kashman in this post published in the Microsoft Tech Community, new site theming options for SharePoint Online (SPO) are starting to be rolled out to First Release Office 365 tenants. While this feature looks promising, it only provides quick “cosmetic” changes to the look and feel of modern team sites and it’s not available in classic SPO. Specifically, we will be able to apply those quick cosmetic changes on the following SPO site types:
Let’s see how to this feature works in a new fresh Communication Site:
Figure 1.- Creating the Communcation Site.
Figure 2.- Accessing the “Change the look” setting.
Figure 3.- Changing the look on the fly in the Communication site.
Figure 4.- New look used in a new fresh page.
Figure 5.- Site settings page look changed in the site.
Figure 6.- Calendar list in the Communication Site.
New site theming options for SharePoint Online provide a quick way to change the look of a modern SPO site what means those options are not available in classic SPO sites where you can only use the legacy themes mechanism. Changing the look means only to use another color palette on the site, and not changing site layout or other look & feel elements such as site location navigation. Finally, it’s not currently possible to add custom color palettes to those new site theming options so we are limited to the 6 available color palettes.
