# Changing the Track Color in the Timeline

By default, the background color of tracks in the Timeline window provide a high contrast with the elements that appear on top of it.

You can change the background color of selected tracks in the Timeline window so that you can easily distinguish a specific element or a group of elements from others.

To customize the color of a track in the Timeline window:

1. Select the element whose track color you want to change.

2. Select Element > Display > Background Color. The color picker opens.

3. Select the color you want to use for the selected track and click OK.

4. To revert the track’s color, select Element > Display > Default Color.
