Cannot find colour setting for the Gumball/ Snaps buttons in the UI?

Where is the colour setting for the enabled buttons on the bottom of the UI? I’ve used ‘color’, ‘paint’ and the hex code from MS PowerToys’ colour picker and I still can’t find it.
I used to be able to change this while Rhino 8 was still in Beta.

You mean those in the statusbar?

Thanks @Gijs, do you also happen to know the highlighted layer one?

The blue highlight in the image above.

Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Content.Highlight

Nice, now everything is looking the way I want it to again. Thanks :slight_smile:

@Gijs I’ve been going over all the hover background buttons in the options, but I don’t see the one that controls the tab hover, the menubar hover nor the statusbar disable hover:




I’m trying to get at least some form of consistency going :slight_smile:

For bonus points: where can I find the search bar border? I don’t find the names to be all that descriptive :sweat_smile:

Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.Tab.EnabledHover.Background

Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.Button.EnabledHover.Background

Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.Edge
Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.Frame.Highlight

Note that this also controls the checkboxes and line in the commandline:

I agree that currently it is very cumbersome to change colors. I’ve made several YT’s about this and it is being worked on to make it more user friendly to change colors.

Thank you once again! The enabled threw me off.
I did check these, which for the background doesn’t do the same as its text counterpart for some reason.


Nor does the Frame.Button.Unchecked.Background affect them.

This reminds me, I messed around with stylesheets for FreeCAD a while back, where I had to basically change every colour to something random to see what it controls.I don’t know whether it is feasible to add tooltips with descriptions to these advanced items and the colors (e.g. I’ve got no idea what Model.Aid.ExtendTrimLines does). I could even imagine these tooltips or the docs containing GIFs for each of the properties and where they are visible in the interface (yes that’s a lot of work).

That’s unfortunate, hope they can be split up to the commandline line, checkbox outline, dialog window and text field outline. That’s how it is dealth with for Qt Stylesheets. For some things you need the refined control, which in turn also allows you to name the colour options more specifically, which eases finding the right one.

For now, my color assignments suffice for what I want :slight_smile:

I can understand, Enabled, in this case means that the control is enabled, in other words, active, clickable :wink:
