To change a theme (or any part of the UI), you need to rebuild the front end (dspace-angular), because part of that process compresses and packs up the code into bundles that can be sent to the browser to run there. Then you need to restart the NodeJS instance that serves it out. The back end isn't affected by changes to the UI and can be left running. I *have* seen that at least some UI changes will be taken up without restarting, if I just copy the rebuilt front end 'dist' tree to the place from which it's run, but I don't know when I can trust this so I usually restart it anyway. -- Mark H.
