As I’m working to make RH8 Ui get close to what I did in RH7, most of the changes in the Advanced settings do not work. Here is what I’m trying to do.
In 7 I was able to change the color of the tabs at the top so they contrasted with selected tab. Deep teal vs the selected gray.
To get that I edited “Rhino.Options.UiPaintColors.InactiveTabBackground” That does nothing in RH8
Similarly, In 7 I edited “Rhino.Options.UiPaintColors.PressedStart” to get
But doing the same in 8 has no result.
Is there a way to make these changes in RH8?

Hi -
Rhino 8 uses Rhino.UI.ThemeSettings.xxx settings for the UI colors.

In this thread I listed most of the colors that you will likely need.
Anybody able to tell me where these badboys are in the newest WIP8?
Thx

Until this is fixed, the tab color setting is nearly useless.meantime black works quite well:
The color can also be specified here:

black looks good, I’ll try that
I’ve been wondering if a windows OS setting controls the text…

No, all settings are in Rhino Options> Advanced tab.

I’ve gone there and tried making changes but no go. I can live with most of it currently assuming this will be better at some point. But can you give me the exact advanced key which will allow me to change the button press backgrounds of Ortho, SmartTrack, Gumball, etc.? I can do without the rest for now.

I’m not seeing where to change the menu active/inactive text color…
maybe this?
nope didn’t work…
I mean it kinda worked…
That’s pretty cool but I need to find the other texts
Now, I’d like very much to figure out how to make all the other text’s green

Yes you have to try every possible combination. I have struggled with this too multiple times. Similar discussions here.
Here
I was trying to play around with the interface colors to see which entry did what. Mostly interested in the toolbar button background color. I wanted it darker than default light, but I am not interested in dark mode.
The thing is, nothing I seem to do has any effect. I am using a custom theme and so I thought I would first reset everything back to defaults - there appears not to be a global switch to do that, so I did it item by item…
Starting here:

All (modified) set to default…

Hi. I noticed this panel is unnecessarily dark.
I did not find the option to change its color not even in advanced. Probably I missed it.

Hopefully in some time things will be easier for the user…
