For information about using Theme 2, see Using Theme 2 and Designing Applications with Theme 2 Course/wiki/spaces/HELP100/pages/9106726483.

6. Optionally, configure PhixFlow to use the palette by default. If you already have a default palette, check that everyone wants to use the new palette as the system default.
   • Either set the palette as the default for the entire system by selecting it in System Configuration → General Settings → Default Component Palette. All the applications you create will use Theme 2 automatically. You can still use tiles and components from other palettes.
   • Or set the palette for a specific application by selecting it in the application properties → Basic Settings → Default Component Palette. Use this option if you want to use different palettes with different applications.
