Restyle a Diagram Fast

Set the overall look with a colour scheme, then add emphasis to key elements with one-click style presets.

A clean, consistent look does not have to mean fiddling with colours one element at a time. Pair a colour scheme for the whole tab with style presets on the elements that matter, and a rough diagram becomes a polished one in seconds.

Start with a colour scheme

A colour scheme sets the look of the whole tab at once. Picking one writes its colours, background, and pattern onto the tab, and from then on new elements inherit the colour scheme's fill, border, and text colours, so everything you add stays on-brand automatically.

The catalogue ships with twenty-seven colour schemes, including dark and multi-colour options. They are organised by temperament (Cool, Warm, Dark, Multi-colour, Formal), so you browse by mood rather than scanning a wall of swatches, and every colour scheme sits inside one of those categories rather than behind a "show more" step.

Switching colour scheme is non-destructive to deliberate choices: a background pattern you hand-picked survives a colour scheme change rather than resetting, and existing elements keep their colours unless you re-apply them.

Pick a colour scheme to recolour the whole tab at once, then new elements arrive on-brand.

Add emphasis with presets

Once the overall look is set, style presets let you make individual elements stand out without dialling each field by hand. Right-click a single shape and open the Presets category at the top of the menu.

For shapes you get one grid of up to twelve one-click looks derived from the active colour scheme, spanning soft, tinted, solid, bold, outline, and muted variations. Each look pairs a colour with a border treatment that suits it (weight, pattern, and corner radius), with label colour auto-contrasted so text stays readable.

Arrows get their own set of eight presets that combine line pattern, thickness, and an optional flow animation. Every preset includes a Reset to default option that returns the element to its colour scheme look in one click.

Colour scheme the tab first so new elements arrive on-brand, then use colour and border presets to lift just the handful of elements you want the reader's eye to land on.
