apply theme Method
After a user selects a theme, the client computer sends an apply theme method to FrontPage Server Extensions from Microsoft. This method tells FrontPage Server Extensions which theme to apply to the named service.
The method also tells whether to apply the theme to a page or to the entire Web site. Included are preferences for how to implement the theme, including whether or not to use cascading style sheets to create the theme.
