# Using C1CoverFlow Themes

## Content

The **C1CoverFlow** control comes equipped with a light blue default theme, but you can also apply six themes (see [CoverFlow Theming](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-extended/CoverFlow2/CoverFlowThemeing)) to the control. In this topic, you will change the **C1CoverFlow** control's theme to **C1ThemeRainierOrange**.

1. Click the **Assets** tab.

4. In the search bar, enter "C1CoverFlow" to search for the **C1CoverFlow** control.
