# Change the style

You can apply a style to a statement to determine how it looks. The style you apply to one statement applies to the other statements too, and it also applies to exported statements. Your style selections are saved, so the next time you log in to Financial Statements, the style is automatically applied for you.

Click the **Style** menu, then select the checkboxes of the styles you want to apply:

* **Red negative values**: Display the negative values in the grid in red font, so they stand out from the positive values.
* **Red/green % variances**: In the percentage variances columns, display the negative values in red font and positive values in green font to highlight where there is a difference in values. When this option is not selected, all the values are displayed in monochrome (black). This setting works alongside the **Higher is better**/ **Lower is better** setting.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have permission to manage custom statements, you can control these [style settings](/financial-statements/managing-statements/customize-a-financial-statement.md#set-the-style-of-an-item) in the **Manage statements** screen: **Bold** font, **Higher is better** / **Lower is better** logic.
{% endhint %}
