To change the default Template for the Site (Front-end) or Administrator (Back-end), follow these steps:

{{:To access the Template Manager|}}

From here you manage your templates for Front-end and Back-end. The default view shows your installed Front-end templates.
The actually default template for the Front-end is marked with a star, in the image below it is rhuk_milkyway.

Change the default template to beez:
* click the radio button left from the template name to select it;

'''Assign more than one template for the Front-end'''

Joomla! gives you the possibility to switch between two ore more templates on Front-end. This will be done with "Menu Assignment", so you can set different templates for each menu or only a menu item.

Click on: Extensions -> Template Manager

You see your installed templates, now choose a template which is '''not''' set as your default one.
Click on the template name '''or''' hit the radio button left from template name and click "Edit" on the toolbar.
You now see the page "Template: [ Edit ]", click the radio button "Select from List" in the "Menu Assignment" block and choose the menu items on which the template will be shown.
Click "Save" on the toolbar and you´re done.
