CPanel is a fully featured web-based control panel that allows you to manage your domain through a web interface. The idea is to transfer as much of the control and responsibility of managing your web site to you. You have the ability to manage all aspects of e-mail, files, backup, FTP, CGI scripts, and web site statistics.

Themes are the visual representation of the CPanel user interface - in other words, what CPanel looks like. CPanel has one standard theme:

CPanel X - Has a front page that displays all of the central functions with account information on one page. Because this theme uses more graphics, it is slower to load.

Your hosting provider may allow you to change between various themes. This documentation has been written using the CPanel X theme as a reference.

Many hosting providers write their own themes, which may be as simple as changing the font type and background color to as complex as reorganizing the CPanel layout and where functions are displayed. You may not be able to find information quickly in this documentation if you are using this documentation with a customized CPanel theme - please ask your hosting provider for more information.
