Default view settings
In Kumu, default view settings is your one-stop-shop for adjusting the underlying settings in your view. 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 Basic Editor by clicking the settings icon
on the right side of your map, and selecting Customize defaults.

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.
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 full guide on the force-directed layout.
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.
Layout allows you to choose between the fixed layout (select "off" from the dropdown) or force-directed layout.
