Theming of the SCS User Interface

The main SCS interface is presented via a responsive HTML5 website.  This website has multiple themes which users can apply to change the look and feel of all the various pages.  

 

There are a variety of preset themes available, to switch from one to another simply click the drown down list located in the upper right corner of the website (next to the Log In / Log Off link) and choose the one that interests you. 

 

While changing themes is mostly a matter of aesthetics there are situations where certain themes are actually beneficial.  Perhaps a user would prefer a high contrast UI for 508 compliance, or perhaps users operating on the bridge at night would prefer to filter out bright colors.  In these use cases it could be advantageous for a user to select a certain theme and/or avoid others. 

 

However, in the end, choice of theme has no actual effect on the functionality of SCS.

 

 

 

If you set explicit colors when building your widgets they will override any selected theme!  It's advised you never do this unless for a specific reason.
