What just happened?
In this theme, we have kept the majority of the look and feel similar to the Liferay Classic theme only. You can install and apply any theme by the above mentioned way.
Currently, we have applied the theme to all the pages of Liferay Community. However, it is also possible to apply the theme to an individual page as well.
