Visio Pro 2010 - default connector colors

[mdeverges]

The defaults for shapes and connectors are all blue. Is there a way to change the default or at least for a document? Thank you

Connector is black in my Visio.
Do you mean connection point?
It is gray in my Visio 2013.

I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I have Visio 2010 and defaults are black. I meant my Visio Pro 2013, not 2010. All defaults are blue, shape fills and lines and connectors. Thanks!

Also, these are for "basic flowcharts" which are the only templates I use Visio for. I make operation process maps for a living.

Maybe it has to do with the preselected Theme in the "new" 2013 templates?

I just tried it. By theme you mean whether I want my screen to be white, dark grey or light grey?

I played around, when i select all and go to the "line" option to choose the color, the interesting thing is the "Use default" shows the default is black. Seems like I can't set the document to change themes either, going from the blue to white fill, black lines...I have to select all

Just a link to what I meant when mentioning themes:

Hi,

Jumpy's right - you're seeing the effect of the 'Office' theme that's set to be the default in the Basic Flowchart template.  You can set the theme in the Design tab to 'No Theme' and you'll be back to black and white.

Just to note that themes are applied on a page by page basis and if you add a page, the theme from the active page (before clicking new) will be applied to your new page.

Best regards

John
