Every Office theme defines two fonts — one for headings and one for body text. They can be the same font (used everywhere) or two different fonts. PowerPoint uses these fonts to construct automatic text styles. Changing the theme fonts updates all of the title and bullet text in your presentation. When you click Fonts in the Themes group, the names of the heading font and body text font that are used for each theme font appear below the theme name.
As shown below, you can change the heading and body text fonts of an existing theme to meet the style of your presentation.
Under Sample, you can see samples of the heading and body text styles that you've chosen.
Theme effects are sets of lines and fill effects. As shown below, you can choose from different groupings of effects to meet the style of your presentation.
Although you cannot create your own set of theme effects, you can choose the effect that you want to use in your own document or presentation theme.
Save the changes that you make to the colors, fonts, or line and fill effects of an existing theme so that you can apply it to other documents or presentations.

Text and graphics automatically take on the size, colors, and placement defined by the theme, which means less manual work as you create individual slides. After you create a theme, it's located on the Design tab in the Themes gallery. To try out a theme, rest your mouse pointer over a thumbnail in the Themes gallery and notice how the look of your slide changes. Here are four different themes applied to the same slide:
