+## Overriding theme style
+
+By default, the appearance customization settings done at the control level will not be overridden by the theme. To allow the theme to override these customizations, set the [CanOverrideStyle](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.WinForms.Controls.SfTabbedForm.html#Syncfusion_WinForms_Controls_SfTabbedForm_CanOverrideStyle) property to `true`.
+
+{% tabs %}
+{% highlight c# %}
+ CanOverrideStyle = true;
+ this.ThemeName = "Office2019Colorful";
+{% endhighlight %}
+{% highlight vb %}
+ CanOverrideStyle = True
+ Me.ThemeName = "Office2019Colorful"
+{% endhighlight %}
+{% endtabs %}
+
+## Apply theme
+
+The appearance of `SfTabbedForm` can be changed using [ThemeName](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.WinForms.Controls.SfTabbedForm.html#Syncfusion_WinForms_Controls_SfTabbedForm_ThemeName) of `SfTabbedForm`.

+Skin manager allows to apply theme for all the controls and forms in an application by setting the [ApplicationVisualTheme](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/windowsforms/Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.SkinManager.html#Syncfusion_Windows_Forms_SkinManager_ApplicationVisualTheme) property. It allows you to theme entire application using single `ApplicationVisualTheme` property.

+{% tabs %}
+{% highlight c# %}
+
+static void Main() 
+{ 
+    SfSkinManager.ApplicationVisualTheme = "Office2019Colorful";

+    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); 
+    Application.Run(new Form1()); 
+} 
+
+{% endhighlight %}
+{% endtabs %}
+
+N> Set the `ApplicationVisualTheme` property before main form is initialized.
