Hi @JG_10788594 

The UI configuration does not exists.

If you want to change the color schema of the system, change all CSS styles in the system..

Are you looking for a way to change the color theme for the embedded browser in Creo Parametric? If yes, this might be a better question in the Creo Community. Personally, I have never attempted to change this.

@JG_10788594  You can customize the css styles as suggested by @HelesicPetr , if you change correctly the text and background colors this would be a good solution.

 

In addition, there is a hack in modern browsers to enable dark theme, see https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs371620, but looks not very promising. It was not tested on the embedded browser in Creo, only in the standalone browser.


+ In Windchill 13.0.1 a new theme has been introduced with a new font-size and colors with more accessibility features, it’s called PTC Design System. You’re going to like it, certainly !


+ Generic UI customization articles are collected in this hub https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS361437, and accessibility features in https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS352883.

If you are viewing Windchill in Chrome, you can use an “experimental” Chrome feature. Go to chrome://flags and enable “Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents”. For me, some of the lines look a little weird, but it works.
