Why do my SAPgui icons have a different look and color after the upgrade?

Overview

This article provides step-by-step instructions for updating or resetting the theme within SAPgui.

Instructions

You may notice that the icons or screen look different after a SAPGUI upgrade.  An upgrade may change the application's default style.  If you would like to use the icons from the previous default style, follow the steps below:

1. Launch SAPGUI.
    
2. Click on the colorful icon on the far right end of the toolbar (or hold down ALT and then press F12).
   
    
3. If your theme does not show a colorful icon:  
   1. Choose ‘More’
   2. Choose ‘SAP GUI settings and actions’.
      
       
4. Choose 'Options...' 
    
5. Navigate to 'Visual Design' --> 'Theme Preview/Settings'. 
    
6. Choose the ‘SAP Signature Theme’ 
   
    
7. Uncheck the 'Use Corbu style icons' checkbox and the ‘Accept SAP Fiori visual theme’ in the lower center of the screen.
   
    
8. Click 'OK'.
    
9.  Close all instances of SAPGUI and of the SAP Logon Pad (if it is open).
    
10. Re-launch SAPGUI.   
     

You should now see the previous icons and a familiar theme.
