To change the color theme for the test company, first view the theme options by logging out and clicking the “Paint Style” drop-down. Note the name of the theme you want to use. Log back into the Test company and open the Settings module, then filter to “test” and type the name of the desired color theme into the Program Test Skin setting:

Save the change, log out and log back in for changes to take effect. The new color theme will update for all users on the test company with the connection string <TEST>
