Change the look options in communication sites - what about subsites?

Hi,

I've created a communication site in my sharePoint online and I see that is possible to change the look of the site by selecting a theme from the ones that are OOTB or I can crate a custom one by using PowerShell for SPO. Nice!

But, when I create a subsite and add a new page to be use as default page in this subsite there is no longer available the tool to change the theme as in the landing page of the communication site. 

The result is my communication landing page with a custom theme created with powershell and all other subsites get random themes. 

Is that normal? How can I make the subsites inherit the theme from the parent site of the communication site? 

Best regards

Americo

    Short Answer is you can't. Microsoft isn't really supporting subsites with Modern UI. Once hubsites launch the idea is your Subsites should be stand alone site collections joined to a hub site as your parent, then you can manage the Themes across multiple sites.
