Changing Themes and Colors

Where to find GUI visual settings

In SAP GUI for Windows, all visual settings live in:

Customize Local Layout — the small paintbrush/customize icon in the top-right toolbar (or press Alt + F12).

This opens the SAP GUI Options dialog with tabs for Themes, Colors, Fonts, Interaction Design, and more.

SAP ships with several themes. Your administrator may lock the choice, but where allowed you can select:

Theme	Description
Belize	The modern flat S/4HANA-era theme (default since ~2018)
Belize Deep	Darker variant of Belize
Quartz	Refreshed theme introduced in SAP GUI 7.60+
Enjoy	The classic rounded look from the early 2000s
High Contrast Black	Accessibility theme
Signature Design	Older SAP theme, still common on ECC systems

Press Alt + F12 or click the customise icon → Options.

Go to the Visual Design or Theme Selection section. Choose your preferred theme from the dropdown.

Click Apply then OK. The theme takes effect immediately — no restart needed.
