Hi all. Please see attached screenshot. All thumbnail appear very dark. Same for newly added materials as well. Tried a few things but couldn’t fix it. What’s going on? A little bug? Thanks!
Hello - is the current renderer Rhino render? Can you pleasae run SystemInfo in Rhino and post the results?

Hello I guess the first thing I’d try is disabling ‘Fologram for Rhino’ in Options > Plug-ins folder, then close and reopen Rhino - any different?
-Pascal
hm… that is unexpected, to me anyway. I’ll see what I can find out.
@xy236 - just making sure - did you disable the plug-in with only one Rhino running, then close Rhino and start a new session?
-Pascal
Thanks Pascal. Yes, I doubled checked that’s what I did. Didn’t help. I wonder if it has anything to do with Rhino’s native material library? I might have modified the folders a bit here and there throughout the project. Maybe that messed things up?
