| iTool User's Guide: Working with Styles |

## Setting the Default Style

The default iTools style for your system can be set via the Preferences Browser. The Preferences Browser contains default property values used by all iTools. You can assign a personal style or any of the System Styles as the default iTools style preference. The default setting is none. To set a default style:

1. Select File Preferences.

2. Select General Settings.

3. Select the desired style from the Default Style field drop-down list.

Once a default style is set, when a new iTool is started, the Current Style will contain a set of default values. That is, the default style is read into the Current Style.

Note Because a default style is applied over the IDL system default settings, a default style does not need to include properties for all visualization types.
