Hi Ajay, The term "site template" gets sued quite a bit and can refer to both templates and definitions. Which makes everything very confusing for the uninitiated. :)
Site templates can be created from the "Save site as template" link on the settings page for any non-publishing site. Site definitions live in the /12/TEMPLATE/SiteTemplates/ and, as you can see, are also referred to as templates. These can have their own set of problems and require programming, or at least good copying skills ;). Rather than go down this path, have you taken a look at the SharePoint Site Configurator Feature<http://spsiteconfigurator.codeplex.com/>? I'm not sure if it can set the theme but it's worth a look.

Can you please elaborate little on custom site definition.. This is for client of mine and they are building intranet on their own.. am not sure if they will have skills to create custom site defs..

If you're referring to the latter than you could provide one or more custom site definitions globally and just insist that they use it. e.g. [cid:[email protected]] Regards, Paul Online Developer, ICT CEO Sydney From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Ajay Sent: Monday, 13 July 2009 12:25 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Custom theme not inheriting on team site Hi Paul/Sezai, This worked fine and we could retrofit the theme to sites already created. Now the next question/problem is how to get new sites to default to the correct theme, as some users are allowed to create sites (because they wont have the understanding or permissions to go and edit master page settings). On the page that sets the master page, the tick box to enable all child sites to inherit the master page does not stay ticked. When you navigate away from the page then re-open it, the settings have "undone" themselves - hence new sites don't inherit the settings. How can I make sure these settings stay ticked?

Reason I ask is because I intentionally remove the theme tag from my custom master pages to prevent use of them.
