The interface of the layout manager
Create a colour scheme in the Layout manager, edit or delete an existing one or apply the selected colour scheme to the current document. In the Layout manager you have the possibility to adapt the colour and format of diagrams, tables and texts according to your wishes.
The list
Here you will find information on all available colour schemes. The pie chart symbol to the left of the colour scheme name shows the preview of the respective colour scheme. Click on the arrow symbol to open the detailed view of the colour scheme. You can then view and edit the individual components of the respective colour scheme. The information is divided into three categories: Diagrams, Tables and Texts.
