Setting up a new theme in Moodle is a two step process.  First someone has to install the theme in the Moodle site.  Second, the theme must be selected for use.
 
==Installing the plugin==
Any new theme is a plugin.  Please see [[Installing plugins]] for details about the three different ways of installing a theme.
 
==Changing the theme==
You may select the theme which will be used on three different types of devices that will use your site: a computer with monitor(s), a mobile phone and a tablet. Some themes will can be additionally modified for a specific device.
 
# Log in as admin and go to ''Administration > Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme Selector''
# Click on the "Change theme" button on the right of the current theme being used for the device
# Scroll down to find the theme you wish to use
# Click the "Use theme" button next to that theme
# Moodle will tell you it has been saved as the default theme
# Check your Moodle site
Notes:
* You may have to refresh your browser to see the new theme
* The Moodle server should automatically clear its theme cache 
** Some older versions of Moodle will required you to click on the "Clear theme caches" button as a last step
* It is a best practice to check how the theme looks by using
**the three different types of devices and
**different browsers on those each of those devices
