The Manage Themes page, accessible from the Action Search, lists all the SAP SuccessFactors standard and custom themes. The theme will determine the colors that users see in the interface. The Visible to column lists the theme that is currently shown to your employees. To access the Theme Manager, go to Admin Center and navigate to Company Settings → Theme Manager.
As an administrator, you have several options when working with themes.

# | Option | Description |
| 1 | Search | You can search for a theme by starting to type its name or by filtering on locked (standard) or unlocked (custom) themes. |
| 2 | Edit | You can edit the custom themes by selecting the theme names. The standard theme names appear in a lighter color and are associated with a lock icon because they cannot be edited. |

| 4 | Visible to | You can add groups of employees who will see a theme different than the default theme. The field used to group user to theme can be selected from Provisioning > Company Settings > Field used to group users to themes. There are three options: department, division, and location. |

| 6 | Duplicate | This option allows you to copy an existing theme and is used to create a new theme by changing the existing theme. |
| 7 | Delete | Choosing this option will delete the theme. Only custom themes can be deleted. |

Horizon visual theme is part of a design language for SAP Fiori, which is being applied across all SAP applications to deliver a consistent user experience. It provides a modern, friendly user interface and modular design system. It is a purely visual setting.
The Horizon theme is the standard base theme for the HCM Suite and is turned on automatically for all customers, by default. It cannot be disabled since release 2H 2023.
If you use a custom theme, we recommend testing it thoroughly on commonly used pages. Although custom theme settings aren’t affected and the colors in your theme are still used in most places, some UI elements use theme settings differently when Horizon is enabled. As a result, some UI elements change color. For example:
- Some UI elements that previously could have their color defined in a custom theme can no longer be customized.
- Some UI elements that previously couldn't be customized can now have their color defined in a custom theme.
- Some UI elements now have their color defined by different theme setting than they did previously.
Changes to typography, visual treatment, and spacing have an impact on the overall layout and location of elements on the page. If you run automated tests that are based onscreen coordinates, they may be impacted by the Horizon theme.
