- Clock ok and PhixFlow imports the package.
- Optionally, configure PhixFlow to use the palette by default. If you already have a default palette, check that everyone wants to use the new palette as the system default.
- Either set the palette as the default for the entire system by selecting it in System Configuration → General Settings → Default Component Palette. All the applications you create will use Template Package Theme 2 automatically. You can still use tiles and components from other palettes.
- Or set the palette for a specific application by selecting it in the application properties → Basic Settings → Default Component Palette. Use this option if you want to use different palettes with different applications.
- Note for version 9.0 and up, when creating an application you will be prompted for your preferred Template Package and a wizard will guide you through the settings.
