I started catching up on Orchard Core with the latest version 2.0.2 and created the CMS website following the instructions at :https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/latest/getting-started/ Although I faced no problems in creating the website in ASP.NET 8 with the latest OC nuget packages and could login with the super user details. It was then that I became clueless, when I picked up a theme and enabled and made it current, like the Clean Blog theme. as in the screenshot below:
I am not sure how to run this theme unlike the older version that I videoed in asp.net core 3.1 about 4 years ago which would change the theme and it would be displayed straight away with the click of the run button as in this video: I still tried to work my way through (without any easy to navigate documentation that I could find giving this most logical next step), by clicking on the tenants as below screenshot:
This rendered the following home page : Although I was expecting the clean blog theme! Long story short: Could some one tell us, How Do we view the Current Theme Rendered on My Home Page ? Best |

If your recipe has a Blank theme, you can customize the page. From the picture above I see TheBlogTheme is the active theme, that's why your page is themed Create a new theme then make it as current, or you could add Razor Page inside |

Hi @hishamco, I feel the documentation needs to be thoroughly updated keeping in view the changes with moderation by concerned people. My take is that packing the latest version with many extra features, though the things that were achievable to any user in an earlier version are not apparent, only compromises the usability of the great platform. Needless to say for any UI the usability should be at the foremost for everyone ! Hope I shall get a suitable response this time to address all my concerns . Kaushik |

Hi @hishamco On a side note : Once I select a theme and then try to change it to another once say from initial Agency to Clean Blog. The changed theme doesn't seem to appear in the way that you'd expect. Cheers, |

As I said It allows me to change the theme as you suggested, but the
changed theme doesn't look what it should look! For example I created the
Agency theme initially from the setup for the first time. Then changed it
from Design - - Themes to Clean Blog. The resulting Clean Blog theme showed
up skewed. I then changed it a second time from Clean Blog to Coming Soon.
This time the page was rendered with a weird image but certainly not the
coming soon theme image. What is the story behind it any ideas? Since I am
responding from my mobile I can't paste the screenshots but you can try it
yourself to confirm it!

Switching between the themes will not render the page with a proper style. It depends on the markup. I'm suggesting to add Liquid or Razor Pages to your theme, then they should be displayed properly for newly added theme |

@krchome theme can provide design elements like - colors, css, layout, images. But it can also provide content elements such has content items, content parts, contents etc during setup viz recipe. - If the Theme contains setup recipe then it can provide content elements needed for setup during the setup process. Theme author can control visibility of recipes in "Recipes" menu |

Thanks and a more detailed procedure of adding Liquid or Razor Pages will
be appreciated. Can you please guide me in that direction?

Hi @hishamco
Updates : Now you were right in saying that I picked up SAAS earlier in the theme/recipes dropdown. So I redid everything from scratch and chose Agency theme and it worked all right with Ageny theme appearing. Thanks very much and my bad :-).
On a side note : Once I select a theme and then try to change it to another once say from initial Agency to Clean Blog. The changed theme doesn't seem to appear in the way that you'd expect.
Can you shed some light about changing from one theme to another ? Is it not something that is in order?
Cheers,
Kaushik
