What does "themable" mean in relation to Liferay applications?

In the context of Liferay applications, "themable" refers to the capability of altering the visual styles of applications without needing to modify the underlying code. This allows developers and site administrators to implement custom themes, providing flexibility in terms of design while maintaining the core functionality and logic of the application intact. Themes can include changes to colors, fonts, layouts, and other aesthetic components, enabling a tailored user experience that fits different branding requirements or user preferences.

The ability to customize an application's look and feel is crucial for organizations looking to maintain a cohesive brand image across their digital platforms. This theming capability does not interfere with the application's functionality; instead, it makes the application more visually appealing and aligned with the company’s marketing strategy.

Other options, while relevant in different contexts, do not accurately capture the definition of "themable." For example, the ability to install applications across different environments pertains more to deployment and compatibility rather than visual customization. Scaling based on user needs relates to performance and capacity rather than stylistic changes. Lastly, the ease of exporting and importing applications concerns the portability of applications, which is distinct from theming.
