A theme is a predefined collection of design elements that determine the way an application appears on screen. Within the
framework, a theme is a module that controls the appearance of
Workbench on the local computer. It defines fonts and colors, as well as the icons used in the display. Choosing a different theme
affects only the framework’s appearance, there is no other impact.
You can customize your
Workbench display by selecting the theme that you prefer.
Workbench provides standard built-in themes as part of the default application environment:
- Zebra (shown below as theme 1 on the left)
This theme has a low contrast, grayscale coloring and is the default theme.
- Lucid (shown below as theme 2 on the right)
Displays a blue and gray color scheme.

To change the
Workbench theme, click to see the active theme in the General tab. Click the Active theme drop-down arrow and click on a different theme option to select it as shown above. For the theme change to take effect, exit
Workbench and restart it.

NOTE: To save changes made in
Workbench Options, such as a theme change, you must close/exit
Workbench using File menu options or click the window’s close box. Closing
Workbench in the console does not save your changes.
