Using the Desktop feature

Okay, this is kind of a fluffy topic. No men allowed! So are you bored with the default screen of your QuickBooks file? Yes, you can change the color of QuickBooks desktop. Go to Edit > Preferences > Desktop view > Color scheme.

This is where you can select denim, sahara marble and there is also a nice purple one. It is also a good way to work in a data file if you have one client with many companies. It helps you know which one you are in. I actually have a client who thought it was cute to name his companies all the same name, i.e., ABC company, ABC company II, ABC company III. I use the color scheme to make sure I have the correct company open. I have also used this feature for a client that I may have worked in their data file, but I am not sure if they restored their data correctly. They know they are in the current correct data file by the change of the desktop color scheme.

So try it out. It is sometimes just easy on the eyes changing the colors once and awhile.
