When I view the Source code, there is no custom info.

I only see the default core.css

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/_styles/core.css"/>

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Be sure to change the theme of your top level site first.  You should then see a link similar to this.  In this example, I chose the Belltown theme.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" id="onetidThemeCSS" href="/mark/_themes/Belltown/Bell1011-65001.css ... />

Thank you very much Wagner. I have one more doubt like how can I remove the search box from top of the site from all the pages? I was unable to do that. Please helop me. Thanks in advance

Hi Wagner,
I did all the steps you have mentioned. But, the master page is not applied to subsites..What could be the problem?

This will not apply the master page to all subsite.  This only applies a custom style to the subsites.  However, there is built-in support in MOSS 2007 to apply a master page to all subsites.  You can refer to the same page.  Go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Master Page.  You will see an option to select a master page and also a checkbox to optionally apply it to all sub sites.

This worked like a charm!  Great post, exactly what I was looking for!

If a sub site has had a custom theme applied before then the steps outlined do not work. It is necessary to delete the _themes folder for the sub site(s) to ensure that inheritance will work.

Hi, Great blog!

Was wondering, is it possible to apply css file to InfoPath forms used in workflows that are displayed using Forms Services? When I view source of a page I can see link references to css files - but can I change or override these with my own?

thanks

There is no alternate CSS link in the Master pages screen.  Just a list of master pages.  What am I doing wrong?  I am a full administrator.

This post discusses a feature that is available only in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007.  You must be using WSS 3.0 and not MOSS 2007.  WSS 3.0 does have a "Master pages" (note the plural page"s") link under the Galleries section of Site Settings.  This is the list of master pages available to the site collection. 

MOSS 2007 has a "Master pages and page layouts" link under the Galleries section that provides the same list of master pages available to the site collection, but also supports page layouts.  However, MOSS 2007, not WSS 3.0, also has a "Master page" link in the Look and Feel section of Site Settings.  Again, this option is available only to MOSS 2007 and provides the ability to configure the settings for the Master Page settings for the current site.

We are in fact using MOSS 2007 and many features of MOSS 2007 including MySite which we would not be able to use if this was only a WSS installation.

There is no "Master Page" link in the Look and Feel section of Site Settings.  I wonder is there any way this could have been hidden or turned off?  We pretty much did an out of the box installation for a small server farm.

I am using MOSS 2007 including MySite which isn't available with just WSS.

Yet there is no master page link under Look and Feel section of site settings within our MOSS environment.  What could have happened to it?

Thanks for the tip mate :)

It feels a little like a hack, (why doesn't SharePoint include a "apply to subsites" checkbox on the Themes page?) but thanks for the tip! Saved me a lot of time.

Hi Wagner, i want to change the theme in public views of mysite, how can?

Hi Mark,

It has helped me tremendously.

I however, need to find out why the site theme is not applied to the application?
