Configuring Business Space themes and skins in WebSphere Portal

If you want Business Space widgets to work in WebSphere® Portal, you must install a new theme in WebSphere Portal, install a new skin in WebSphere Portal, and update the theme to use the default skin. This makes the interface look similar to the interface in Business Space.
