Themes

An application’s theme is the collection of colors, graphics, and fonts that appear in the application.

To change the theme for the application, select Filethen selectPreferences, and go to the Global Preferences page.
You can use keyboard shortcuts to magnify the contents of the browser window or to invert the application colors.
Note: If you have special requirements for your themes, then contact your system administrator or visual designer about using the SAS Theme Designer for Flex application to build custom themes. SAS Theme Designer for Flex is installed with SAS themes.
