I have created a page which has a set of static and few dynamic fields. I
did not "theme" the page when I created it. How do I add the theme to this
page, which I have done to the rest of the pages?

Thanks

You can right-click on each form or control and select "Edit (component name) Layout...", then select the Theme.

The page I am using does not contain any components. Just static page with
text/images.

Then I am not sure if applying a Theme will work, since Themes defined certain attributes for forms created by CCS, but probably not for HTML elements created by youself. Basically even if you could apply a Theme to your page manually, I'm not sure if anything on the page will look different.
Of course you can always copy the HTML from other pages that is related to Themes and then play with the design.
For example I see in my pages such HTML as:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Themes/Cobalt/Style.css">  
<body link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#ff0000" bgcolor="#fffff7" text="#000000" class="CobaltPageBODY">
You can view HTML of any of your other pages and find similiar code that you can copy to other pages.

Yes, it does make a difference. At the very least the background color is
now themed. I did find a work around instead of having to do the manual
work of copying and pasting. Insert a component, theme it, and then delete
it. The page retains the theme and gets the full theme menu. There is
really no reason why a component-less page should be treated any different
than one with a component. May be in future release this division will be
taken off?

hi senthil,

peterr please dont slap me *g

senthil, use an external html editor like dreamweaver MX or topstyle pro wich can generate rich CSS files, generate classes for your pages/objects and apply them to your pages (rightclick on pagefile -> open externally).
in a long run you go better with this solution belife me.
