User interface theme
The user interface theme gallery enables you customise the theme / visual style of MyNovel. The default theme is Office 2007 Blue (which is the same as in MyNovel 2.0). There are quite a few to choose from. Some of the themes are really quite natty! Take a look at the summer and springtime themes!

The high contrast theme is useful for writers who are visually impaired.
