Look and Feel

Use this to change the appearance of RevMan's interface. The available options depend on which operating system you are using.  

Style Sheet

Use this to change the appearance of the main text, for instance to make the text appear larger. The name of each style sheet will indicate what effect it has. Changing the style sheet only affects the view in this copy of RevMan; it does not modify the reviews in any way.
