Enable entrée theme engine

Each entrée system user has the ability to personalize their screen theme. The theme engine in entrée comes with approximately 70 themes which provide custom color schemes that are applied to all of the entrée windows and dialogs. The desired theme for each user is linked to their user account so it will be displayed on any workstation that they log into.

2.Select the theme from the drop-down list. As soon as a theme is selected it is applied immediately so you can preview what it will look like.

 

 

By placing the cursor inside the theme drop-down list box, you can use the up and

down arrow keys, on the keyboard, to browse the available themes.
