The DynaStar​™ Visual Style Menu

Use the Visual Style Manager to change the colors of the application screens as well change the way mandatory or required data input fields are displayed in the application. DynaStar™ allows each user to have their own Look and Feel to the application, remembering these settings on a user-by-user basis.

Setting the View Style

DynaStar™ has several view (or interface) styles that a user can choose from:

These styles match the chnages in the Microsoft Office user interface over the years. Each DynaStar™ user can set the view style they prefer. Whenever a user logs into the system, DynaStar™ will apply the user's view style of choice.

  2. Click Visual Style,
