    You can optionally use one of the default-related buttons (Dark Defaults, Light Defaults, CFX Defaults, Workbench Defaults) at the bottom of the dialog box to quickly set the indicated defaults for the appearance and operation of CFX-Pre, CFX-Solver Manager, CFD-Post, and TurboGrid. The CFX-Pre settings that are affected by these buttons are:

    • CFX-Pre > Graphics Style > Background

    • CFX-Pre > Colors

    • Common > Appearance > GUI Style

    • Common > Viewer Setup > Mouse Mapping

  3. Click OK.

Note:  Changes made under the Options dialog box do not take effect until a new case is opened.

When changing some user preferences, it will be necessary to restart the application for the setting to take effect. For example, changes to the highlighting mode, whether made in the Edit > Options panel or from the Outline tree view Case Options > General > General Options panel, do not take place until the application is restarted.
