    Problems saving/uploading Themes

    Hello all,�*

    I have created a colour scheme theme in excel, which I want to save and then put on our company server so that all of my colleagues can download it, and then upload it into their own versions of excel so there's a bit of branding consistency with things like graph colours and font colours etc.

    I clicked 'Themes > Save Current Theme' and then saved it as a .thmx file

    My colleague then tested it, by going into her themes > browse for themes, located the .thmx file and opened it - but nothing seemed to happen.�* The theme I had saved hasn't appeared in her own themes to use.

    Am I doing something spectacularly dense?�* We've tested it a number of times, with a number of different people, and nothing seems to happen when they open up that saved theme.



    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Welcome to the forum.

    You could try sharing the theme file here - just change the extension to .zip (as that type of file isn't supported). We can then check whether or not it's working.

    Thank you very much for the quick reply!

    I've attached the theme in a zip folder here (I think).

    I'm not sure you're doing it right. I think you need to create a default file from the PC where you set up the theme, and then share the default.
