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 a…

Anyone? Just wondering if I need to completely reset everything to default and if so how to make sure the extensive changes I made to toolbars and macros are saved so I can redo them. However trying this out in a different new default scheme also has no effect - none of the colors change.

For now, you will need to go to the colors page in options and choose “custom”. Once that is selected a few extra color options will show up at the bottom.

Somewhat related to this topic, I’ve found the whole exercise of trying to change a colour in the UI by trial and error to be quite exhausting. Would there be a way to highlight which colour option corresponds to which setting via a colour picker-like interaction? For example, say I’ve got the UIP…

[image] Helvetosaur: If that is the case, why haven’t the old settings been removed from V8? They should probably at least be hidden, but we will need to double check to make sure they are actually not used anywhere in Rhino now. [image] Helvetosaur: Only 4 of the approximately 150 !!! c…
