Sam,

there are some configuration options about which themes are applied:
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties/configuration-properties-base#TOC-Epilogue-and-theme-properties

especially oxf.epilogue.theme and oxf.epilogue.use-theme

In addition, the documentation holds some information about applying
themes to an xforms app:
http://www.orbeon.com/orbeon/doc/reference-epilogue#d27e978

I would recommend to copy and rename the theme-examples.xsl (located in
WEB-INF/resources/config) as a starting point, and add a
oxf.epilogue.theme property pointing to the renamed xsl file.

Hi Sam,

AFAIK there's no detailed documentation regarding that topic. Basically,
the theme XSL specifies the HTML structure of the resulting (X)HTML
page; it acts as a "template" for them. In that template, you can link
the css and js files that should be available to all pages of your app.
Additionally, definitions from the xhtml:head of each of your xforms are
copied into the resulting (X)HTML page, so it's possible to load css or
js files specificto a certain form. Themes are defined using CSS, so
there's no special technique or command set to customize the appearance,
just the usual web standard tools.
