    how do i set a specific theme in Access 2024?


    Can't seem to find how to set or change a specific theme and font in my forms. I'm using Access 2024 on Windows 11.

    In 2019 , it is Form/Design mode/Form Design ?
    Please use # icon on toolbar when posting code snippets.

    Its still the same location in 2024 / 365: In form design view, click the Form Design ribbon then Themes

    Similarly for reports.

    Or to set the default theme, go to Access Options | Client Settings | Default Theme

    Scrap the Microsoft themes. Create your own themes and quickly apply to any or all your forms.

    What does your theme manager do that isn't already available from the built-in functionality?

    As can be advised to many who ask easily resolved questions, try it and see.

    I did try it when you first released it. I didn't see the benefits. That's why I asked.

    Glad to hear that you are among the 1000+ downloaders. I suspect some of them found it useful.
