Creating a custom Map Theme

To create a custom Map Theme from the default format settings of a map:

Choose File > Open and navigate to the map whose default format settings you want to save as a Map Theme.
Click Open.
Format one of each of the map's elements with the formatting you want to use as the default for that element As you format each element, save the formatting as the default for that element type: choose Format > Set As Default Format. You can define the default formatting for:

main topics and subtopics (by level, up to 4 levels)

floating topics and subtopics (by level, up to 5 levels)

callout topics and subtopics (by level, up to 5 levels)

boundaries

relationships
Choose File > Save As.
In the File Format list, choose MindManager Map Theme.
Enter the name of the Map Theme. It will automatically be assigned the extension .mmas.

To make the Map Theme available in the MindManager Map Theme Chooser, MindManager automatically saves it in the default folder:
~/Library/Application Support/Mindjet/Mindjet MindManager/13/{language}/Library/Styles

- where the tilde (~) character indicates your home folder
- where {language} is the language name for your installed copy of MindManager, for example, English.

To customize an existing Map Theme:

Choose File > Open and navigate to the Map Themes folder, usually:
~/Library/Application Support/Mindjet/Mindjet MindManager/13/{language}/Library/Styles

- where the tilde (~) character indicates your home folder
- where {language} is the language name for your installed copy of MindManager, for example, English.
Choose the Map Theme you want to modify, and then click Open.
Add the elements you want to define formatting for, format them accordingly, and choose Format > Set As Default Format for each element. (See the list in step 3, above, for elements whose formatting you can define.)
Choose File > Save As.
In the File Format list, choose MindManager Map Theme.
Enter the name of the Map Theme. It will automatically be assigned the extension .mmas.

To make the Map Theme available in the MindManager Map Theme Chooser, MindManager automatically saves it in the default Map Themes folder.

The new or modified Map Theme will be available in the Map Theme Chooser. You can distribute this Map Theme to other MindManager users. They should copy it to MindManager's default Map Theme folder on their systems to make it available in the Map Theme Chooser.

You can apply your new Map Theme to any map, and even apply it to Map Templates, including the default Map Template used for all new maps. To learn more, see the Related Topics below.
