    Colors

    Hi all!
    Just a quick question about changing colors.
    I've adjusted the background color of the Workspace but...
    Is it possible to change the color of the "GVIEW PLANE/WCS PLANE...." text at the bottom of the screen so that it stands out more?
    I can't seem to find the option in Settings.
    Thanks for the help. :withstupi

    Hi, did you change the workspace color by changing "Graphics background color" or did you change the Gradient background start and end colors? The gradient background overrides the graphics background so if you have a very dark gradient background you can change the graphics background to black and then the small "GVIEW PLANE" text will appear as white. Hope this will help you. /Limpan

    I think thats one of the few colors that you cant change. I use a light gray background and it shows up as a medium gray on my screen.

    Thanks for the replies.
    Yes, I also like a lighter background (keeps things "happy" )
    but it does make that text harder to see if it's color can't be changed...

    These are my favorite colors. I teach at the local college and these show up well when using a projector on a screen. The background is actually a custom color (not one normally in the pallet). By using a custom color, I know no imported cad file will ever be the same as my background (i.e. white lines on a white background).
