Hi Sunil

for Create and change theme

Choose System Administration --> Portal Display -->Theme Editor. The Theme Editor opens and you can create and change themes.

For Create folders for your own themes in the Portal Catalog

Call the Portal Catalog from the system administration role. For example, choose System Administration --> Portal Display --> Desktops & Display Rules. In the Portal Catalog, choose Portal Content --> Themes. You can create your own folders below the Themes folder and store your own themes there

For Assign themes to the portal desktop

Choose System Administration --> Portal Display --> Desktops & Display Rules. The Portal Catalog and the Desktop Editor open. In the Portal Catalog under Portal Content --> Themes, select the themes that you want to assign to the desktop

For Assign permissions for themes

Choose System Administration --> Permissions. Open the Portal Catalog and under Portal Content --> Themes assign the permissions

hi,

And one trick to get the old images from the theme, which is always the biggest problem:

Use IE when accessing the teme Editor.

Rickt-click on the images in the preview. A red-outlined image pops out.

Rickt-click the image and select "save as".

Use a good image manipulation program (i prefer the freeware program GIMP) to make changes in the color

Upload the images again per theme editor. The image appears immediatly in the preview again.
