### Playback

#### Loop Mode

`Loop Mode` determines if an **Animation** should play forward or alternate between playing forward and backward in a **Scene**. It can be set in the following ways:

* `Alternate`: The **Animation** is played forward and backward in each animation cycle.

* `None`: The **Animation** is played forward once in each animation cycle.

* `Repeat`: The **Animation** is played forward in repeated cycles without reversing direction.

### Theme

#### Grid Color

The `Grid Color` of the **Logic Editor** can be set here. The *color* can be set by manually adjusting the **HSB** / **RGBA** values or inserting a **Hex Code**, using their corresponding [**Color Attribute**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2021.3/getting-started/attributes/attribute-types/color-attribute).

Additionally, the `Reset color` button sets the `Grid Color` back to its default value.

### Theme

#### Bottom and Top Gradient Color

`Bottom` and `Top Gradient Color` set a *color gradient* that starts at the bottom and top positions of the **Viewport**, respectively. The *color gradient* can be set by manually adjusting the **HSB** / **RGBA** values or inserting a **Hex Code**, using their corresponding [**Color Attribute**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2021.3/getting-started/attributes/attribute-types/color-attribute).

#### Grid Color

`Grid Color` sets the color of the *grid* found in the **Viewport**. The *color* is set in the same way as the `Bottom` and `Top Gradient Color` **Attributes**.

`Reset colors` sets the `Bottom` and `Top Gradient Color` as well as the `Grid Color` of the **Viewport** back to their default *colors*.
