Interface preferences
Corel Painter lets you modify a variety of settings that affect the look and feel of your application. You can choose a theme, change the background color of the document, specify the default document view, and set the orientation and layout of the toolbox, command bar, and Media Selector bar, so that the program looks the way you want. Some user interface elements, such as the document window border color and the color of the document title bar are controlled by the theme of your operating system. To change the appearance of these user interface elements, explore the personalization options of your operating system.
The following table describes the Corel Painter preferences for modifying the display of the application interface.
