Palettes vs Themes clarification

  • 1.  Palettes vs Themes clarification

    I am hoping someone can shed some light on the difference between Palettes and Themes.
    I have created some Palettes in PAW and the Administration section and can apply these to visualizations by selecting the Palette under Visualization properties. If I create a line chart with a multiple elements and assign to the Color property, each line is coloured according to my Palette.

    Where I am getting stuck is on Text boxes as an example. The colours available there look random and worse, they are different to when I built and deployed my workbooks which was pre-2.0.58. My text boxes used an orange and my buttons a blue from what looks to be called the Legacy theme.
    My books now have non-standard colours which is not ideal as I want them standardized and linked to a global Palette.

    There does not seem to be a way to link these widgets to a Palette.
    I can go to the canvass and under General, Color and theme, choose a visual theme but this only includes Carbon X Light and Carbon X Dark.
    I cannot see how to create a theme or possibly export and import from a workbook that still has the Legacy palette.
    I do not seem to see anything in the support documentation on this either.

    Has anyone got some insight they can share to assist?

    Thank you.
