# Personalise your Mind Map (using Colour, Images and Styles)
AYOA features an intuitive interface with extensive customisation options to help you manage any project effectively.
You can **personalise** your Mind Maps by adjusting branch styles and colours, adding images, and selecting a Mind Map theme that **reflects your unique style**
To begin, you can **modify the thickness of your branches**. Simply open the display options menu located at the top right of your Mind Map and locate the branch thickness slider. Move the slider to achieve your desired branch thickness
AYOA also provides a **variety of branch styles to choose from**. Navigate to the **Branch Draw Tools** menu to select your preferred style (preset or free-hand)
Additionally, you can enable the auto-inherit feature, allowing new branches to adopt the style of their parent branch seamlessly.
**Editing your branches** is a straightforward process. Double-click on any branch or click the **Brush** icon to access the style menu, where you can modify the **shape, colour, and font of your branches.**
You can also tailor your Mind Map's **theme settings** to suit your preferences. In the **Display Options** menu, select **Map Theme** to adjust the fonts across your branches and customise the branch colours.
Furthermore, you can **change the background colour** of your Map while working on your project.

**To enhance the visual appeal of your Mind Maps, you can incorporate images.**
To **add a picture** to a specific branch, select the branch and click the plus button in the toolbar. You can search for **royalty-free images or upload your own**. After uploading, feel free to experiment with the layout options in the branch box.
If you wish to **place images anywhere on your Mind Map** without attaching them to a branch, ensure no branches are selected and simply right-click anywhere on your Map, select Add, and then choose **Floating Image** to insert your pictures anywhere - these can also freely be moved later.
