1. Click on the Create Theme button
2. The form to create a theme have 5 fields:
   • Name: The theme name
   • Description: A very brief description of the theme
   • Main Color: The hexadecimal value of a color to identify your theme
   • CSS: Must be a valid CSS
   • Created by: Defines the owner of this theme (Visible by Administrators only).
   • Shared With: This feature allows you to share the theme with other users. You have three options:
     • None : The theme will only be visible by its creator (without considering the administrator who can see all the themes).
     • Everyone : The theme will be visible by all users of the application. Only managers can share themes with everyone.
     • Specific users : Allows you to select the users who will be able to see the theme. Related permissions: Includes the word "Shared" in his name. For example, viewSharedThemes, editSharedThemes, deleteSharedThemes. > Important! Keep in mind that although a user can share a theme with another user, this user must have the permissions to view, edit, delete, etc. required for each action. For example, if you share the theme with two users with different roles: Customer and Designer. The Customer user could only have access to view shared themes, while the Designer user could have access to the view and edit shared forms.
