I’m running Mac 25.12.21.3153. From long ago, I had custom themes but I understand that they aren’t compatible with current versions.
My issue is this: the printed versions of my Receipt and Sales Invoice appear as intended; all the other forms I might print, such as Expense Claim, Payment, Bank Recon and Purchase Invoices are different (company logo is much bigger and the business info text is larger.
I’ve turned off all my custom themes so I expected the printed forms to appear similarly, especially the logo size.
Any suggestions on how to get all the forms looking like my Receipt form?
Judging by the screenshots provided, these appear to be View screens and not printouts.
The on-screen display of documents is responsive and not fixed.
You would normally want that to be the case so that the content is displayed in the most ergonomic way possible given the size of content provided.
For prented documents, the display should be a bit more rigid but not absolutely so – for much of the same reasons but to a much lesser extent.
Do you face the same issue on printouts?
About this:
…yes, there seems to be an issue here. Previously, the built-in theme used to set a limit on the size of the logo but I don’t know why this was dropped.
A quick fix is to place a size limit on the logo by editing the Theme manually or using Theme Enhancer
Another possible solution is to load your logo as a fixed size image of smaller dimensions.
While the images were screenshots from the View screen, the PDFs are almost identical (except for the Payment form where the PDF clips part of the right column border).
For the Payment form I tried selecting a custom theme and chose the one that works for the Receipt form, but it didn’t change anything. I also tried creating a new theme using the code from the Receipt form, but it didn’t change anything. In the receipt form, the logo is limited to 200 px wide and 100 px tall but it doesn’t seem to reduce the logo size on the Payment form.
I haven’t played with the Theme Enhancer but will give it a go.
I should mention that everything was fine with all the forms in the Aug 2025 version I was using before. The appearance changes happened with updating to the Dec 2025 version I now use.
I’ve tried using the invoice theme from my Receipt form, which displays correctly, as the default for my Payment form but it doesn’t change the appearance/layout. And the Theme Enhancer only works on the Sales Invoice form for now.
Would there be other files that Manager uses, like the file with the string of 0s, which hold something like Mac preferences, that could affect layout?
I’ve unchecked Custom Themes from the form defaults for Receipts and Payments. It makes no difference. The Receipt form displays correctly and the Payment for does not.
I then tried deleting all my Custom Themes (thanks Lubo for new-ish Undo button). When I did that, the Receipt form looked like the Payment form (not good). When I restored my Custom Themes, the Receipt form displayed correctly again (the Payment form still displays incorrectly). This happens even though Custom Themes were disabled on the two forms.
I think that there’s something internal to Manager that’s controlling how those forms display that’s not directly related to Custom Themes.
