Custom theme support

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Question:

Is there support for custom themes? I.e. creating a presentation from a *.THMX file or apply a theme from a *.THMX file to an existing slide?

I can’t seem to find the API.

Thanks,
DC

@dcherkassky,

I have observed your requirement and regret to share that at present the support for loading custom THMX file is unavailable in Aspose.Slides for Java. An issue with ID SLIDESJAVA-36458 has already been added in our issue tracking system to provide requested support. This thread has been linked with the issue so that you may be automatically notified once the support will be available.

We are sorry for your inconvenience,

Mudassir Fayyaz

Sorry, I should have specified Java. But I imagine the answer is the same, right :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Is this API documented anywhere? How would one apply a custom theme from one file to another?

@jwhitmarsh8b0fb,

Please, use the following code to apply the Open XML theme:

final Presentation pres = new Presentation("pres.pptx");
try
{
   pres.getMasters().get_Item(0).applyExternalThemeToDependingSlides(thmxFilePath);
   pres.save(outPptxFileName, SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
finally { if (pres != null) ((IDisposable)pres).dispose(); }
