Skyware has multiple Color Theme display options (aka "Skins"), which may be selected from for your individual User preference. These include the "Classic" style (pale blue background), and several "Modern" themes, Modern Curve (white background), Modern Straight (pale blue background), Modern Light (white background) and the most recent, Modern Dark (dark background, useful for using Skyware in bright environments) for displaying Skyware. Choose your Color Theme depending on what is easiest for you to use. Whilst Color Theme is originally selected on the Property Definition screen for the Property as a whole, every User can make their own choice.
The Dashboard screen (the most common landing page for Users after logging on) is shown in the various different themes available.
Classic: Pale blue background, orange Action Bar, darker blue Quick Menu, tables and Dashboard shown in gray.
Modern Curve: White background, white with curved orange line Action Bar, dark gray Quick Menu, tables and Dashboard shown in gray.
Modern Straight: Pale blue background, paler blue Action Bar, pale gray Quick Menu, tables and Dashboard shown in white.
Modern Light: White background, white Action Bar, blue Quick Menu, tables and Dashboard shown in white.
Modern Dark: Black background, very dark gray Action Bar, dark gray Quick Menu, tables and Dashboard.
