User Interface
Window System Introduction
After starting Blender and closing the Splash Screen, the Blender window should look similar to the image below.
Blender’s interface is separated into three main parts:
The Topbar at the very top, consists of the main menu, which is used for saving, importing and exporting files, configuring settings, and rendering among other functions.
Areas in the middle, which is the main workspace
The Status Bar at the bottom, which displays shortcut suggestions and relevant statistics.
Customization
Keyboard shortcuts
Blender makes heavy use of keyboard shortcuts to speed up work. These can be customized in the Keymap Editor.
Theme colors
Blender allows for most of its interface colors to be changed to suit the needs of the user. If you find that the colors you see on screen do not match those in the Manual, it could be that your default theme has been altered. Creating a new theme or selecting/altering a pre-existing one can be done by opening the Preferences and clicking on the Themes tab.
Accessibility
Blender has several options for visibility customization, including resolution scale, and the ability to load custom fonts. These settings can be configured in the Interface Preferences.

Blender Introduction
Welcome to Blender! Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation suite.
With Blender, you can create 3D visualizations such as still images, 3D animations and VFX shots. You can also edit videos. It is well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process.
Being a cross-platform application, Blender runs on Linux, macOS, as well as Windows systems. It also has relatively small memory and drive requirements compared to other 3D creation suites. Its interface uses OpenGL to provide a consistent experience across all supported hardware and platforms.
