A '''sidebar''' (or '''sidebar theme''') is the bar on the left of the screen of almost every page you visit on [[Neopets]], giving links to all the main sections of the site. The default sidebar is yellow, but players can unlock and use others if they complete the proper actions.
'''Site Themes''' are themed [[Wikipedia:Skin (computing)|skins]] for the [[Neopets|Neopets website]]. While a handful of site themes are available to users by default, most site themes must be unlocked by performing certain actions, such as participating in a [[plot]] or redeeming a [[virtual prize code]].


Some sidebars are only for people who participated in certain [[plots]], such as the [[Altador plot]], for which one of the prizes is the ''Altadorian Constellations'' sidebar.
Users can change their current site theme by selecting their desired theme from the drop down menu located under the "Theme" section of their [http://www.neopets.com/preferences.phtml Site Preferences] page.


Other sidebars are more like [[avatars]], and are given out if you do a specific thing, sometimes only on a specific date. The ''Halloween'' sidebar is one of these, being unlocked by being on the site at 11:59:00pm-11:59:59pm on Halloween (31st October).
==History==
In October of 2004, [[The Neopets Team]] began releasing themed skins for the Neopets website. These skins were called "sidebar themes", since they altered the appearance of the distinct yellow sidebar that was displayed on the left side of the website at that time. As part of the [[Neopets 2.0]] upgrade, the layout of the Neopets website was completely overhauled and the sidebar was removed entirely.  Because of this, sidebar themes were updated and redesigned into "site themes" that matched the website's new layout.


The ''Birthday'' sidebar is currently the only one you can't unlock. You have this sidebar on your birthday (the day you set it when signing up) and on [[Neopets' Birthday]] (15th November).
==Site Themes and Holidays==
To make the website more festive, on certain holidays [[The Neopets Team]] will override the user's chosen site theme with a holiday appropriate one. All users will see this holiday site theme for the duration of the day, even if they have not otherwise unlocked the theme for normal use.  At the end of the day, the site theme will revert back to the user's chosen theme.


Some "Holiday" sidebars (Valentines, Halloween) can be seen by everyone on that holiday only. They override other sidebars on those days. However, you '''must''' unlock these sidebars if you want to use them.
The days on which this happens are as follows:

Site Themes are themed skins for the Neopets website. While a handful of site themes are available to users by default, most site themes must be unlocked by performing certain actions, such as participating in a plot or redeeming a virtual prize code.

Users can change their current site theme by selecting their desired theme from the drop down menu located under the "Theme" section of their Site Preferences page.

History[edit]

In October of 2004, The Neopets Team began releasing themed skins for the Neopets website. These skins were called "sidebar themes", since they altered the appearance of the distinct yellow sidebar that was displayed on the left side of the website at that time. As part of the Neopets 2.0 upgrade, the layout of the Neopets website was completely overhauled and the sidebar was removed entirely. Because of this, sidebar themes were updated and redesigned into "site themes" that matched the website's new layout.

Site Themes and Holidays[edit]

To make the website more festive, on certain holidays The Neopets Team will override the user's chosen site theme with a holiday appropriate one. All users will see this holiday site theme for the duration of the day, even if they have not otherwise unlocked the theme for normal use. At the end of the day, the site theme will revert back to the user's chosen theme.

The days on which this happens are as follows:

Date Holiday Theme
February 14th Valentine's Day Valentine's Day theme
October 31st Halloween Haunted Woods theme
November 15th Neopets' Birthday Happy Birthday theme
