Themes & Colours: delete or edit a saved theme
Hello everyone,
I'm a little confused about themes, master slides, and theme colors.
In the attached sample slides and images, you can see that a variety of themes are listed under "Design" - "This project." If I switch to the master level, I also find a variety of slide masters there. My goal, however, would be to only use the theme under "Custom." What do I have to do for that?
I'm having a similar problem with the "Design" - "Colors" section. There, under "This project," I see two color blocks that I'd actually like to delete and replace with the custom theme colors "Diakonie." How can I delete or edit the preset themes or colors?
When I right-click, there's only the "Apply" option, but not the "Delete or Edit" option.
I'm happy to hear any tips ;-)

There is also a videoVideo:Overview of themes.Look no further than the solution suggested by Ange—it's a great resource!
I'm getting the same issue.
Sorry, but I can't see an answer to your question about the Delect and Edit option not showing. Were you able to resolve this?
Hey DavidBaird-AUS,
Happy to jump in!
In Storyline, authors can Edit or Delete custom Theme Colors. However, these options are only available for colors you've created, and not for the built-in themes.
Also, were you unable to access the user guides shared by Ange? They're both loading as expected on my end. Can you try the following links again and let me know if you're still having trouble?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi Steven
Yes, I could access the user guides, however, I couldn't find the specific information I needed.
It's a little weird what is showing in the Colors dropdown. There must be 30-40 custom colors sitting under This Project. I did not create them so I'm not sure how they got there. I'm just trying to delete them as they are mostly all the same. Any further information on how they got here would also be useful.
Cheers and thank you.
