Set Your Preferred Color Theme

VB Studio provides settings to control the color palette for your work environment, which by default uses a Light theme. You use these settings to configure a preferred color theme, which takes effect for all pages in the user interface, including the Designer.

To set your preferred color theme:

  1. Click your user avatar and then click Preferences.

  2. Select the General tab.

  3. Select a theme under Preferred color theme:

    • Select Dark theme to switch the appearance to a dark color display, more suited for low-light conditions.

    • Select Theme color determined by OS setup to inherit the theme specified in your OS setting.

    • If you changed the default, select Light theme to switch back to a lighter background with dark text display.

  4. To the left of the User Preferences title, click Back to return to the last opened page. The page’s color theme should reflect your preferred choice.

Tip: You can also control this setting from within the Designer. Click Menu in the upper-right corner of the Designer, then select Theme. See Tour the Designer.

See Customize a Web App’s Appearance if you want to set a web app’s color theme in the Designer. You configure this setting for a visual application in the Settings editor, which is accessed by clicking Menu in the upper-right corner of the Designer, then selecting Settings.
