    Creo 4 is tentatively going to come with three different skins that will allow users to change the UI area from "light" (white) to "medium" (light gray) or "dark" (medium gray), but these skins will not be user editable.  By they way, these skins are completely separate from the system colors used in the graphics area.

    Uwe,

    UI background is always white and its color cannot be changed. You can set color of graphics area, only.

        Thanks Tom,

        I was looking for a previous ui_theme config option after I came across something I wrote several years ago.  And searching came up with this correspondence.

        We are on Creo 2 and like many I am tired of the very light coloured UI area.  So although it is a way in the future the idea that we can have darker UI interface areas is pleasing.  At least in the modelling area I get to use a pre-WF colour scheme with a syscol.scl.

        A long time ago I postulated the use of an old idea for the drop menus for them to use the graded colour bands that we used to get on old school sprocket fed fan fold paper.  That light, slightly darker, then slightly darker again set of repeating bands was/is great for chunking lists and working out where commands are.

        I guess it is a perennial beef that PTC will not spend time optimising their UI.  My argument is that this should be the sort of low rent stuff that would make all users happy.

        Ah, well; back to the salt mines.

        Regards, Brent
