   From the Manager page view, you have the choice of viewing existing themes in two ways. You can choose the Grid view or the List view.  
   Note:  
   In both the Grid and List views, your published and unpublished themes are grouped separately. The published themes are themes that appear in the user's theme preference. View your web and mobile themes by selecting either the Web or Mobile button.

   * Delete: permanently removes the theme from your list.
   * Add alternate color palette: applies a different color scheme to the theme for variation.
   * Unpublish: removes the theme from active use without deleting it, so you can edit or republish later.
