Q: No longer able to select customized color theme for a collection page?

Previously I have been able to select a custom colour theme for my collections in Public Site Manager by clicking on Collections > Configure Selected Collection > Theme

 

The ‘theme’ tab is no longer showing – see screenshot –

Does this mean we can longer apply a custom theme (custom colours etc.) to our collection pages?

 

It seems we can still create themes (see screenshot below) but we’re no longer able to apply them to collection pages. Is anyone else seeing this?

    I too have noticed the same thing.

    Also, when I open the page on the

    collections can not do any operation.

    See the screenshot.

    I guess themes are gone. There are still pages in the manual talking about themes but within the pages describing collections, they are nowhere to be found. :-(

     

    This seemed to have happened during the last update. The manual is dated 02/2014.

    What I don't understand is - if Apple have got rid of themes on collection pages - then I would expect a generic theme to be applied retrospectively to all existing collection pages. What I see however is my custom theme on all my existing pages i.e. no change - but when I create a new collection obviously I now don't have the option to apply the custom theme - so I get a generic white on dark grey theme on new collection pages. In summay my existing pages have my custom theme applied and a few new pages have the generic theme and there's way for me to make them all look consistent.

    If you want to make them all consistent, then you could tell Apple support to reset the themes on these collections. They offered me to do this in the past, but the university decided against it.
