Hi…,

where to change the panel background color. Here is a picture of customers panels in gray, what he doesn’t like anymore.

Thanks

Hi Wim,

“Window color 1” changes here the toolbar color, not the panel color.

Perhaps I should be more precise, I am talking about this gray.

Other ideas, perhaps a registry setting?

Thanks

I may be mistaken here, but the inactive tabs are in Rhino Window color 3; however the active tabs are the Windows native Menu bar color and can’t be changed without changing the system color scheme… Someone correct me if I’m wrong please…

I guess there are two types of active tabs then.

In this picture, the perspective viewport is active — General > Windows color 2
The right, front, top viewports are inactive — General > Windows color 3

I tried tweaking the OS system color scheme to get to the layer tab color but couldn’t find it.
There are several color settings exposed in Rhino 6 in the options > advanced meny but this one isn’t there either.

Yeah, the viewport tab colors are accessible… I think there may have been discussions/requests in the past for some of the other ones that are not. --Mitch

Hey there, I am the customer. :wink:

If I go to _Options / Appearance / Colors and Press [Reset defaults] (German: Standardwerte wiederherstellen), the colors switch back to the original default colors (see 2) until I close the options dialog with either “OK” or “Cancel”. After leaving the options dialog the screen is flickering some microseconds and the ugly dark gray is restored. (see 3).

Problem solved, thanks to ProcessMonitor (from Sysinternals) and RegEdit. :slight_smile:

I removed the following registry entry that was set to 13160660 = 0xC8D0D4 = 200,208,212 BRG = 212,208,200 RGB = the dark gray in my upper screen shot and everything is back to normal now:
