Enabling the Inherit from Theme setting lets you apply a single color change across all your apps (Figure 7). You can also enable these color settings:
-
Reverse Colors to switch the allocated color scheme values (e.g. for coloring by measure, colors allocated to low values are re-allocated to high values).
-
Persistent Colors keeps the colors you choose between selection states, so you can select another drop-down option without losing any changes.
