Theme Elements

The complex type CT_BaseStyles defines the theme elements for a theme, and is the workhorse of the theme. The bulk of the shared theme information that is used by a given document is defined here. Within this complex type is defined a color scheme, a font scheme, and a style matrix (format scheme) that defines different formatting options for different pieces of a document. The complex type CT_BaseStyles is defined in the following manner:

<complexType name="CT_BaseStyles">
  <sequence>
    <element name="clrScheme" type="CT_ColorScheme" minOccurs="1"
      maxOccurs="1"/>
    <element name="fontScheme" type="CT_FontScheme" minOccurs="1"
      maxOccurs="1"/>
    <element name="fmtScheme" type="CT_StyleMatrix" minOccurs="1"
      maxOccurs="1"/>
    <element name="extLst" type="CT_OfficeArtExtensionList"
      minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
  </sequence>
</complexType>
