From c2f8f34e19ef7b9987538e8c2624e629b5203c17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derick Montague Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 12:26:18 -0500 Subject: Update docs theme section to customization The themes section of the webui style guide contained a section named theme. This section also included information about the environmental builds. The name was misleading and confusing, so we determined in the GUI Design Work Group to update the section name.
