YEAS!! FINALLY!! FULLY GRAYED OUT RHINO!!
I wouldn’t either, it just happens that I love gray high contrast theme in Windows and matching Rhino to it is just a cherry on top.

hi @Asterisk
good job 
How did you do this, can you share options 
It’s a combination of custom High Contrast theme for windows which you can download here.
As mentioned before, if you don’t like this look, you’re just gonna be breaking one thing to make the other thing work.

And Rhino 6 Advanced options edit.
For some reason my home PC doesn’t have Rhino panels in much lighter gray. Probably because I’m on the older windows version. To be investigated…

Which Rhino advanced option controls panel background color?
None. It’s all Windows and text there too.
How did you set Rhino panel background color?
Read my post(s) above.
This dark color theme of Windows 10 (called GreyEveTheme v.2.1) messes up word processors. I have to change the theme to any standard theme before I can print text from a word processor. The GreyEveTheme works well with Rhino if I change two advanced options in Rhino: Rhino.Options.UiPaintColorsTabBackground and Rhino.Options.UiPaintColorsNormalStart
By the way, the same website helps make dark user interfaces for Firefox and Chrome browsers. The website is here: GreyEveTheme - Windows 10 / 11 High Contrast Theme by eversins on DeviantArt
Here is dark version of this Rhino thread displayed by the Chrome browser:
That looks great. I’ll go through your previous posts and see if I can duplicate.
Funny how, as we tunnel into “dark themes”, we look more and more like early day consoles.
Working through your values here and having a tough time duplicating the numbers. Is there a way to type the values? Best I can do at present is enter numbers in the color picker and they don’t correspond to the values in your screenshot.
Import options - check appearance only, so you don’t mess anything else up in your setup.

Thanks for the .ini. Will continue to play with this as I believe eyes in the dark are happier.
So, I can still get a dark theme, impressive!
yep, It messes up Excel too. That’s on M$.
It is not a matter of appeal it is a matter of less eye injury.

Can you share any scientific evidence of this? Just curious because I couldn’t find anything about this subject
I don’t have a publication at hand, but if you read more on the topic. Dark backgrounds reduce eye strain.
It also conserves energy for obvious reasons.
If you stay in front of the monitor like me (over 18h a day sometimes) you can notice that. If you go outside on the sun right after being in front of the PC for long.
Bright light causes the pupil to contract extremely. Especially if you have not enough or a medium (or fluorescent, led) light in the room. The eye has troubles focusing if there isn’t a strong light. Thus fatigue is coming really quick.
Solution is either use bright colors but have a strong light in the room or turn off the light and use dark colors.
I choose the former at work because the light is terrible there. Trying to conserve energy they decided to use LED lights that is very exhausting. Real stupidity!
And I use dark room and dark colors at home.

I hope this is good enough for you.
note especially on this:
- Being exposed to bright light or glare
- Straining to see in very dim light
and this
- Use devices with poor contrast between the text and the background
Update:
and one more on the topic:

not really, I don’t see any references in that article to studies on that matter. Eye strain is not the same as eye injury either, plus it doesn’t mention anything about bright vs dark theme. In the link you posted, it doesn’t conclude either that dark theme is better than light theme… only in dim light conditions. So it is all about the environment the screen is placed in.
