You also have the option to create custom report themes from the Themes tab in Report Explorer.

If you are using Legacy reports, you can also create custom themes for them. You will need to create two graphics for your new theme to load.

1/ On the Reports Themes form, click the New button.

Custom themes for Legacy Reports are user-specific and machine-specific. So, if you want to share these with other users of SI, you will need to manually copy the folder (the folder is named whatever you named your theme) from your machine to their machine.

Themes are in the following folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\D-Tools\SIX\Data\Reports\Themes.
