Having experimented with several of the built in themes in Morfik 2.0 I came to the conclusion that it should have a theme with more of a "clean" look. I really like the some of the themes that are bundled, including the one called "Default" which, not surprisingly, is the default one, but I really like to build web applications which have more of a clean look to them.

I prefer to work with white backgrounds, light and bright colors and add some visual effects (sparingly) for effect. I get this feeling that when you use too much of the visual effects at the same time, they loose a bit of their appeal, as they kind of "interfere" with each other.

Most of the themes that are bundled are just a bit too "rich" on visual effects to be to my liking and I really think that a "plainer", "cleaner" theme should be added to the built-in theme collection.

Of course, you can create your own theme with its own set of visual effects, colors, fonts, etc. I have done exactly this, twice already, but I'm not yet up to the same level of polish as the bundled themes display.

Morfik AppsBuilder 2.0 has extensive support for themes. This allows a website or application to be created in such a way as to be possible to radically alter the set of colors, fonts and control styles used in it.

The following screenshots show: first the default look of the main form of the BookCollector sample that comes bundled with Morfik AppsBuilder 2, and then the same form with a new theme being selected.

As you can see the application looks quite different in the second screen shot, while maintaining the same character as the original look had.
