1 Basic Information
The MyQ Theme Editor is a standalone tool for editing and creating styles for your
terminals. By exporting these styles to the MyQ web administrator interface, you can
activate them on your terminals. This way you can change the look and feel of your
terminals, by changing the color and the images of the terminal actions.
You can also create a theme (template) with completely new names for the terminal
actions.
Then, adding your company logo to all of the styles would result in having created
your own specific look and feel for your company terminals.
In this guide you can find a workflow and instructions on how to install and use MyQ
Theme Editor, create a theme with styles, export it and make it visible on your
