Each palette contains a set of template layouts that you can drag onto a screen to create forms and buttons with a consistent look-and-feel; see About Template Packages. For a demonstration that uses Template Package 1, see /wiki/spaces/HELP91/pages/9050674952. For information about using Template Package 2 (also known as Theme 2), see Using a Template Package and /wiki/spaces/HELP91/pages/9050655401.

     • 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.
