Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product enabling the configuration of network-connectable devices to display and utilize a particular theme, the specific theme to be used being designated and deployed by the network server to which the network-connectable devices connect. Each of the network-connectable devices are configured to automatically initiate a client transaction to the server (local or networked) for an HTTP GET request that contains a substitution string in the URI which identifies the request as a solicitation for a theme configuration to be deployed by the server. Upon receipt of the GET request, the server replaces the substitution string element in the URI with appropriate identification information enabling the deployment of a desired theme, background, etc. to the network-connectable device when the GET request is served.
