Theme Editor

In the Theme editor you can easily change the default style to your individual company one: change logo, color scheme, fonts, background settings.

To open the Theme editor panel, in the Administration panel go to the Design → Themes section and click the Theme Editor button near the desired layout.

Before version 4.3.6 the button was called Visual Editor.

You can hide the editor panel or close the Theme editor using the controls marked with red in the picture below.
