Milestones Professional offers a myriad
of color themes already built-in to the program just waiting for your
discerning eye. But what should you do when a creative colleague sends
you a schedule with a range of colors you love but haven't seen in our
extensive library? Or what if you come across a website with colors
that seem professional and still have a vibrant kick that catches your
eye? As we couldn't capture every possible color theme in one program,
we've given you a way to create and save your own (or your colleague's).
In this article, you'll find instructions to manage color themes as well
as three new themes we've created for the summer season.
