## Theme and Colors

The following options are available to change the colors of MuseScore. The display changes immediately so options can be tested without closing the dialog. The changes apply to all open instances of MuseScore (see [Windows](/fr/customization/toolbars-and-windows.md#toolbarsandwindows-windows))

* Light or Dark Theme
* Select "Follow system theme" if you want MuseScore to change themes from light to dark, or dark to light, when the system theme changes
* Activer le contraste élevé
* Accent color options
* Background - the color behind the score (not the color of palettes and other program items) can be changed to a solid color or a Wallpaper image.
* Paper - the color of the score itself can be changed to a solid color or a Wallpaper image.
* Invert Score - swaps the color of score elements with the Paper color

1. Depuis le menu, sélectionnez **Édition → Préférences…** (Mac : **MuseScore → Préférences…**) ;
