Appearance

Default Design for New Tables ​

Global Appearance sets the starting design of every table you create next. It saves you from repeating the same color, font and pagination choices on each new table. Defaults only affect new tables; existing tables are never changed, and you can still adjust any table in its own Table Design tab.

There is no "use as default" button inside a table's Table Design tab. Defaults are set in one place only.

  1. Click the gear icon in the top bar, then Settings.
  2. Open Global Appearance. The card is titled Global Appearance Settings.

Default Table Color ​

Pick the color scheme new tables start with. The schemes are the same as in Table Colors: Default, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Olive, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, Purple, Pink, Grey and Black. The default is Default, which follows your theme.

Default Styling Library ​

  • Styling library: Semantic UI (default), Bootstrap 4 or Bootstrap 3. Semantic UI suits most sites; pick Bootstrap only if your theme already uses it.
  • Style switches: they change with the library, the same lists as on Rows & Borders.

Default Font setting ​

  • Font family: Inherit from theme (default) or one of the generic families.
  • Font size: the default is 14.

Show ​

  • Table title: off by default.
  • Table description: off by default.
  • Hide all borders: off by default.

Default Features ​

  • Search box: on by default.
  • Sorting: on by default.
  • Default Pagination settings: Pages (default) or Show all rows.
  • Rows per page: shown when Pages is chosen. The default is 20.

Click Save settings to keep your changes. The button switches on once you change something.

When you have never saved defaults ​

A fresh site starts new tables with this baseline:

  • Color scheme Default, styling library Semantic UI.
  • Style switches Hover Rows, Striped Rows and Vertically Centered Table Cell Contents turned on.
  • Font family inherited from the theme, Font size 14.
  • Title and description hidden, header row shown.
  • Search and sorting on, sorted by created date with the oldest first.
  • Pagination on with 20 rows per page.
  • Engine FooTable. New tables use the Legacy rendering setting when Pro is active and Ajax on the free version, see Engine, Rendering & Caching.

Once you save Global Appearance, your saved values replace this baseline.
