Customizing default settings for diagrams

In UML visualization, you can change the default appearance style, font, and colors that appear when you create diagrams and add notes to them.

You might want to change the font and the colors to add visual interest or to convey conceptual groupings between the elements in a diagram.

These default settings affect only new elements in a diagram and do not affect any existing diagram elements.
