25. This last step is strictly a personal preference, but you may want to explore it. Click Edit, then Preferences in the
menu bar at the top. Go to Fonts & Colors in the left window, then click the “Select your Scheme:” drop-down
box on the bottom right screen. Try the various schemes to see if there is one you like better than the default. I
use the Windows 8 (alternative) scheme since it puts borders around the various windows. Completely up to
you.

26. For now, you can just close out of MySQL Workbench.
