When you open the '''Color Themes Library''', you’ll see the following screen:
 
 
 
[[File:Colorthemeslibrary.jpg|alt=|frameless|380x380px]]
 
 
 
The '''Color Themes Library''' shows examples of each node class, including text, picture, form, and slider defaults as well as an Example Diagram to show how the selected theme looks. Under these examples there is a '''Select Diagram Theme''' menu which allows you to select theme and other options, and a '''Graph Examples''' menu which allows you to select graph themes and see examples of the selected settings on various graph types. At the bottom of the window are two buttons, '''Set all nodes to default color and border styles''' and '''Export Anastyle'''.
 
 
 
== Download ==
 
You can download the Color Themes Library here: [https://docs.analytica.com/index.php/File:Color_Themes_Library.ana Color Themes Library.ana]. To use it, simply add the library into your model.
 
 
 
== Notes ==
 
 
 
* Nodes and graphs that already have non-default options selected will not update when defaults are changed. If you have nodes with explicit color and style settings that you would like to revert to model defaults, use the '''Set all nodes to default color and border styles''' button at the bottom right of the library.
 
* Arrow border colors will only change in Analytica versions 6.3.0 or newer
 
* [[Slider|Slider bars]] (and styles) will only display in Analytica versions 6.3.0 or newer
 
* Bar graph outlines will only change in Analytica versions 5.0.7 or newer
 
 
 
== Select Diagram Theme Menu ==
 
[[File:Selectdiagramtheme.png|alt=|frameless]]
 
 
 
Use the '''Select Diagram Theme''' menu to update your model’s default theme options. This menu includes the following options:
 
 
 
* Font size
 
* Diagram colors
 
* Include borders
 
* Use node colors for borders (hidden when borders are not included)
 
 
 
==== Font Size ====
 
The '''Font size''' menu allows you to change the font size of your model. This will affect the text and tables  in Diagrams, Object View, and Result View.
 
 
 
==== Diagram colors ====
 
The '''Diagram colors''' drop-down select menu allows you to select one of our preset themes. Changing this menu automatically updates model defaults to the selected theme.
 
 
 
The available themes are shown in the table below:

See the [https://lumina.com/behind-the-scenes-5-3-color-themes/ Lumina Blog] for insight on how the Viridis and Plasma themes were designed.
 
 
 
==== Include borders ====
 
Use the '''Include borders''' option to toggle borders on nodes on and off. When Include borders is selected, the '''Use node colors for borders''' option will appear under it. Changing this option will also toggle borders on and off in graphs.
 
 
 
Some themes will automatically update the Include borders option to the selected theme’s  default when you change themes, but this option can still be changed according to your tastes.
 
 
 
==== Use node colors for borders ====
 
Click '''Use node colors for borders''' to toggle between a dark border color for all nodes and custom border colors depending on each nodes’ color. See the table below for examples of the options:

== Graph Examples Menu ==

The '''Graph Examples''' menu allows you to change your graph theme and view various example graphs. By default, the S'''ame diagram and graph themes''' option is selected and graphs will match the selected '''Diagram colors'''.
 
 
 
If you uncheck the '''Same diagram and graph themes''' option, the '''Graph theme''' drop-down menu will appear on the right hand side of the menu. This provides a list of graph theme options for you to choose from. Changing the '''Graph theme''' drop-down will update the graph settings accordingly.
 
 
 
Click the Result icon ([[File:VirtButtonBareIcon6.0.png]]) for each graph type to see an example.

== Set all nodes to default color and border styles ==
 
At the bottom right of the '''Color Themes Library''' is a '''Set all nodes to default color and border styles''' button. Nodes with explicit colors and styles will not update when model defaults are changed. This button reset all nodes with explicit colors and styles so they will use the defaults, ''i.e.'', the colors from the selected theme, again.
 
 
 
== Export Anastyle ==
 
At the bottom right of the '''Color Themes Library''' is an '''Export Anastyle''' button. Clicking on this button will save your selected diagram and graph theme options into an [[Anastyles|Anastyle]] file that can be imported into other models. This way you can easily import your selected options into other models without having to import the '''Color Themes Library''' and select your options again. You can import an Anastyle file to a model the same way you would add a Library into a model.
 
 
 
See [[Anastyles]] for more information.
 
 
 
== Reverting to the Classic Theme ==
 
If you’re using the '''Color Themes Library''' and would like to go back to the Classic Analytica theme, you can simply select the Classic diagram colors and graph theme options.
 
 
 
Analytica also comes with the default Classic theme saved as an [[Anastyles|Anastyle]] file. You can use this file to revert any model to the Classic Theme without importing the '''Color Themes Library''' using the following steps:
 
 
 
# Go to '''File''' > '''Add Library…'''
 
# This should open the '''Select Library File''' window. By default this should be open in the '''Libraries''' folder. If not, this '''Libraries''' folder is usually accessible by going to C:/Program Files/Lumina/Analytica/Libraries.
 
# Open the '''Node Styles''' folder.
 
# Select the '''Defaults.anastyle''' file and press '''Open'''.
