What is a Redmine theme AKA Redmine skin

A Redmine theme, AKA Redmine skin, provides visual enhancements to the Redmine platform, modifying its appearance and improving functionality and usability. Both free and paid Redmine themes are available, offering customization options that allow users to change the visual aspect and add functionality.
