Managing Color Themes

 
Milestones Professional and Milestones Project Companion offer a myriad of color themes already built-in to the program just waiting for your discerning eye.  But what should you do when a creative colleague sends you a schedule with a range of colors you love but haven't seen in our extensive library?  Or what if you come across a website with colors that seem professional and still have a vibrant kick that catches your eye?  As we couldn't capture every possible color theme in one program, we've given you a way to create and save your own (or your colleague's). In this article, you'll find instructions to manage color themes as well as three new themes we've created for the summer season. 
 

How to Create and save a color theme from an existing schedule.

 
  1. Open the existing schedule.

  2. Review all the following areas of the schedule for appropriate color and shading effects.

  • task lines background

  • chart title

  • date headings

  • columns

  • column headings

  • legend

  • DataGraphs

  • toolbox symbol and connector colors

  • outline level shading

  • text formatting

  • gridlines

  1. On the toolbar choose the Format tab.

  2. In the Color Theme section choose Manage Color Themes.

  3. In the Manage Color Themes dialog box enter a name for your color theme.

  4. Choose the Save Theme button.

  5. Choose Close. The color theme you created will now be located on the Format tab, in the Color Themes section, under All Themes.
