A Moodle theme is a pre-designed user "view" (interface) that can be changed by the site administrator, teacher, or student.  While robust, it does not affect how Moodle functions, just how it looks.  Moodle comes with a standard set of themes and there is a [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6552  large free library] available to download.

Themes may be [[Theme settings|selected]] at site level, course level and/or user level as long as the Moodle site has been configured to allow changes at these levels.
