Design — Colors, Sizes, Fonts¶
Every menu has its own Design — the complete visual style. You can customize every color, size, and font independently per menu.
Open the Design tab in the menu editor to access these settings.
Design Presets¶
The fastest way to style a menu. Click the Design Presets dropdown to apply a ready-made theme:
| Preset | Style |
|---|---|
| Default Dark | Dark grey, neutral — works in any context |
| Default Blue | Dark background with blue accents |
| Default Light | Light theme for bright environments |
| Default Orange | Dark with orange accents |
| Default Red | Dark with red accents |
You can also save your own design as a named preset and reuse it across menus. Changes stay per-menu — applying a preset to one menu doesn't affect others.
Colors¶
All color values use [R, G, B, A] format, from 0.0 to 1.0.
| Setting | Controls |
|---|---|
| Background | The semi-transparent backdrop behind the whole menu |
| Border | Outline around buttons and the menu background |
| Text | Label color for all buttons |
| Button | Default button fill color (not hovered, not active) |
| Button Hover | Button color when the mouse is over it |
| Button Active | Button color when clicked, or when a toggled PROPERTY is ON |
| Button Border Hover | Border highlight color when hovering a button |
| Trail / Tail | Color of the direction line drawn from center to cursor (Pie only) |
| Header | Background color of the menu header (Simple/Layout menus) |
Quick color reference¶
| Color | RGBA value |

Font¶
Set a custom Font Path to load a .ttf or .otf font file from your computer.
Leave empty to use Blender's default font.
Example:
Tip
Fonts affect all text in the menu — labels, tooltips, and the center title. Use a clean, readable font for best results.
Per-Button Design¶
Individual buttons can override the menu-wide design:
- Button Color — override the fill color for this specific button
- Text Color — override the label color
- Icon Color — tint the icon a specific color
Leave these fields empty to use the menu default.
