In today’s fast-moving world, it’s important to stand out. That’s where Bold Reports Theme Studio comes in—it’s a tool that helps you completely change how your reporting tools look. You can customize their appearance to match your own style, brand, and ideas. This blog is all about showing you the features of Bold Reports Theme Studio that make it super easy to give your reporting tools a totally unique appearance.

You have the choice of starting with various built-in styles, such as Bootstrap, Material, high contrast, and Office 365. After that, you can customize them to match your preferences perfectly.

**Choose the reporting tools to style**
It all starts with being flexible. Bold Reports Theme Studio gives you the power to choose the reporting tools you want to look special. You’re in control of changing only the things you want. When you open Theme Studio, you’ll see the following ways to pick from different reporting controls:

**All**: This option is the default choice and provides a comprehensive styling experience for both the Report Viewer and the Report Designer. It’s perfect when you want a cohesive style across your reporting tools.
**Report Viewer**: If your focus is on customizing the appearance of the Report Viewer, this is the option for you. You can create a unique look and feel for the Report Viewer that resonates with your audience.
**Report Designer**: On the other hand, if you’re interested in refining the aesthetics of the Report Designer only, this option allows you to apply your style preferences exclusively to this tool.

**Header**: Customize the header section of your reporting tools, setting the tone for your users’ experience.
**Content**: Tailor the appearance of the content area, ensuring a visually engaging presentation of your data and insights.
**Miscellaneous**: This category lets you fine-tune various miscellaneous elements, ensuring a smooth and balanced design throughout.
**States for mouse interactions**: Theme Studio goes the extra mile by allowing you to define styles for different states of mouse interactions, including default, hover, and active. This level of detail ensures that your reporting tools feel dynamic and responsive.
