Sage 50 Accounting Color Schemes (Maintain Global Options)

On the General tab of the Maintain Global Options window, you can choose one of five color schemes that changes the appearance of windows and dialog boxes used in Sage 50. Each scheme uses a different combination of colors. When you select a color scheme preference, this default affects all companies in the Sage 50 data path that are accessed by this computer. You can change color schemes at any time. If you operate on a network, each workstation can set up its own color scheme preference.

Note: Sage 50 color schemes only apply to windows and dialog boxes within the Sage 50 program, not other Windows applications or the Windows desktop.

Choose from one of the following color schemes:

  • Classic: This scheme uses Sage 50's traditional white tabs and white color backgrounds throughout the program.
  • Professional: This scheme uses light gray tabs and gray backgrounds.
  • Splash: This scheme uses light pastel.
  • Sand: This scheme uses light and dark tan colors throughout the program.
  • Vibrant: This scheme uses bright and bold colors, such as intense shades of purple and green.

Note: When you install Sage 50 for the first time, the Sand color scheme is set up for you. If you upgraded from a previous version of the product, the color scheme previously used is maintained.

If you change a color scheme preference and select OK, you must close and restart Sage 50 for the color changes to take effect.
