Automatic Theme Styling

Automatic Theme Styling includes our predefined themes that can be accessed with a single click.

Apply a color palette to your diagram with a single click. Clicking repeatedly on the same palette cycles through its alternative color variations.

Adjust the size of your map using presets from S (Small) to XL (Extra Large), or revert to the original size (O) whenever needed.

The Clear Custom Style button at the bottom of the menu allows you to remove any custom styles applied to individual topics, giving you a clean slate when switching to new theme options.

The Theme Editor gives you the possibility to quickly change the way your topics look like, level by level (central topic, main topics, level 2 subtopics, etc.).
