# Break Themes

Break themes use HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other web standards to display content during the break. Each kind of break can have a different theme, set on the Break Appearance page.

See the default themes via the Reveal Themes item in the Theme pop-up menu on the Break Appearance page. You can also find additional themes on the Time Out Extras web page.

Time Out supports two kinds of themes: Local and Remote.

Remote Themes

Remote themes are simply a URL to an online website. Any website can be added as a remote theme; all you need is the URL and some basic information about it. Some sites are more suitable for break themes than others, of course.

Local Themes

Local themes are a little more complex: they are web pages hosted on your computer. They could be as simple as a single static page with some text or an image, or a full web app, running locally.
