IBM PLANNING ANALYTICS · SCRIPT EDITORS · DARK MODE

Dark mode for processes and rules.
Give your script editors a dark theme.

Prefer working against a dark background? In IBM Planning Analytics Workspace, you can switch the process editor and rules editor to dark mode. Configure each editor separately to suit the way you work.

The short answer

Open Settings and enable the dark theme for the Process editor and/or Rules editor. Save your selection. This feature is available from PAW 2.1.18 or 3.1.5.

Check both editors if you changed both options.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Any questions?

Which PAW version supports this?

From PAW 2.1.18 or 3.1.5. Here is how to find your version.

Do I have to change both editors?
