Hi all, I am trying to change the color theme of sandbox accounts but don't see any global option under General Preferences that changes the color theme for every user in the sandbox account. I do see an option to change the Color theme on role-level under Preferences tab on the role which changed the color for only the role. Is there any option that allows to change the color theme on a global basis?

@KevinJ of Kansas Yep, I contacted NetSuite support and they confirmed it's an "enhacement".
Only way is to update the Preferences on a role for admins; Users can update their own preferences as well to change the color theme. But the point is it cannot be controlled by admins on a global basis- The main requirement behind this request is to make it very clear for the user which environment they are in. And right now, this cannot be done in a quick way - only custom roles can be changed & admin/full access users need to update their color themes if needed. Also, important thing to note is that color themes will be overwritten each time the sandbox account is refreshed. So the exercise of updating custom roles and asking admin/ full access users to update their color themes needs to happen again and again with every sandbox refresh. One more example how NetSuite does not make it easy to do simple things.

It would only be too easy for them to have that as preference on the sandbox refresh page
Personally, I wouldn't mind being able to dictate it for all users in production as well and removing capability to customize it.

Late to the comment party here, but I'd like to see the color scheme and/or banner design be different by default for each Sandbox regardless of what options are available to Admins and Users. It should be distinctly different from Production aside from the pale orange "Sandbox" text, which fades into the background easily.
