What is Theme Property Finder?

Theme Property Finder is a Blender add-on from Nanomanpro built for artists and theme creators. It searches for specific theme properties such as colors, sizes or boolean toggles across all Blender editors and synchronizes them with a single click.

A global keyword search finds properties within Blender's API, and the List button lets you pick from a generated list of available property names. Results are grouped by editor type, such as 3D View and Node Editor, and selection control lets you select or deselect matching items to refine batch updates. The panel sits at the top of the Themes section under Preferences. Batch synchronization then propagates a value to all selected editors at once.

Listed as free here under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, it is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
