Modules, Widgets, and Themes
Modules extend the core functionality of SilverStripe. Some existing modules include: Blog, Advanced Workflow Management, eCommerce, Forum, LDAP/OpenID authentication. Modules are available from the SilverStripe modules repository, which as of August 2012, lists 208 modules.
SilverStripe Widgets are small pieces of functionality that can be drag-and-dropped into SilverStripe modules (notably the blog module). Examples of widgets include: tag clouds, Flickr photos, or word of the day, although widgets are a relatively less-used aspect of the platform. As of August 2012, there are 96 widgets.
The SilverStripe themes directory provides a number of community-contributed, freely available themes (84 as of August 2012).
Modules, widgets, and themes are all available as free downloads under the BSD license, and the majority of them are community contributed.

Famous quotes containing the word themes:
“In economics, we borrowed from the Bourbons; in foreign policy, we drew on themes fashioned by the nomad warriors of the Eurasian steppes. In spiritual matters, we emulated the braying intolerance of our archenemies, the Shi’ite fundamentalists.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
