In Kumu, default view settings is your one-stop-shop for adjusting the underlying settings in your . Templates, layouts, default element and connection styles, and more can all be changed with default view settings.
You can find the Default view settings tool in the by clicking the settings icon on the right side of your map, and selecting Customize defaults.
This section, which is only available for the systems, stock and flow, and causal loop templates, allows you to tweak things like same/opposite connection color, connection labels, and more.
These three sections allow you to change colors, sizes, widths, and other styles for all your elements and connections. Font defaults will apply to loops, as well.
The General settings section allows you change your theme, template, quality, and layout.
Theme can be either light or dark. The dark theme is great for big screens in dark rooms!
Quality can be either high or low/fast. High quality gives you full access to Kumu's suite of decorations, but it will run slowly on very large maps. Low/fast, on the other hand, restricts your access to different decorations, but it helps large maps to load and animate much more quickly.
The tool has up to six sections, depending on the and you're using: Template settings, Element defaults, Connection defaults, Font defaults, Layout settings, and General settings.
Note that any you have created will override your default settings.
Layout settings are available when you are using the force-directed layout on your map. For more information on how to use this section, check out our .
Template allows you to choose one of Kumu's pre-built .
Layout allows you to choose between the (select "off" from the dropdown) or .
