• SPSS Standard (default), a design common across SPSS brand (a part of IBM Corp.) products.
• SPSS Classic, a design familiar to users of earlier versions of this application.
• Microsoft Windows, a Microsoft Windowsdesign that may be useful for increased contrast in the stream canvas and palettes.
Custom Colors. Edit the colors for elements appearing onscreen. For each of the elements in the table, you can change the color. To specify a custom color, click the color area to the right of the element you want to change and choose a color from the drop-down color list.
• Non-extracted text. Response text that was not extracted yet visible in the Data pane.
• Highlight background. Text selection background color when selecting elements in the panes or text in the Data pane.
• Extraction needed background. Background color of the Extraction Results pane indicating that changes have been made to the libraries and an extraction is needed.
• Category feedback background. Category background color that appears after an operation, such as dragging and dropping responses and forcing responses from the Data pane into the Categories pane.
• Default type. Default color for types and terms appearing in the Data pane and Extraction Results pane. This color appears in the interface whenever the Unknown type or any of the associated concepts appear. This color will also apply to any custom types that you create in the Resource Editor. You can override this default color for your custom type dictionaries by editing the properties for these type dictionaries in Resource Editor. See the topic Creating Types for more information.

Visualizations Color Order. If you use the category bar chart in the visualization pane and also select a reference variable, you can see each of the possible values for the reference variable in a legend at the bottom of the pane. Each value is also color coded to help you visually distinguish it in the bar chart. You can change these default colors here. See the topic Visualizing Graphs for more information.
You can also enable sounds to control the way you are alerted to particular operations in the software. See the topic Accessibility for Blind Users for more information.
