You’ll see an new icon at the top of the pane, under Custom Right-click and existing Theme Colors item and choose: Duplicate.You can do this via the Format > Theme menu, or click Theme button on the Formatting toolbar. First, make sure the Theme Task Pane is visible.So how did we create this puppy? Well, to create a custom theme… Here’s some of Visio 2007’s built-in shapes, “As-Dropped” into a document with the Battle Zone theme. You don’t have to do anything, formatting-wise! Shapes that are correctly built for Themes will automatically pick-up the theme that you have chosen. You don’t have to individually select a bunch of shapes and change their line, fill or text attributes to get a different look. Regardless of whether you like Battle Zone or not (Over Thirty-somethings Unite!) Visio Themes are cool because they save you time.

I created the background and the tanks, but the flowchart shapes are standard, Visio flowchart shapes that I didn’t touch in any way, except to add some text:īy the way, I think these tanks need to make an appearance in an Office Offline comic (see article: Word Balloon Shape) To get a better taste of what the Battle Zone Theme entails, let’s take a closer look at this article’s thumbnail. But stay away from the printer with this one! Use this in your PowerPoint presentations and you’ll be sure to delight your 30-50 year-old co-workers.

If you’ve read: “Laser” Shape, then you will start to see a pattern–a searing, green-on-black, “vector-graphics” pattern.Īh the Apple IIE, the Vectrex, Tempest and ‘Stroids… Ok, ok, this is all just a thinly-veiled excuse to play with the new Themes feature, see what it takes to create a custom theme with Visio 2007, and share some of that info with all y’all.Ĭlearly, the mid-life crisis is approaching and my longing for the glory days of computing strengthens with each passing sunset.
In 2007, Microsoft launched Visio 2007, which included the new Themes feature.įor 28 years, the two have been on a collision course with destiny…linked by computers, the Geek Factor…and Fate. 1980 witnessed the launch of the classic arcade game Battlezone by Atari.
