Changing the DS Highlight Colour

richardandtracy

I have a question I hope can be answered simply, and I may have asked it before (if I did I can't find a record of doing so, but.. might have done).

I have, in the last few weeks, added 4.24 to the range of DS versions I have available on my machine. I now have 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22 and 4.24 on the same machine. Installing it was pretty painless, except in one way.

The highlight colour in the default screen setup used to be vomit yellow, it's now bile green in every version I open. I'm accustomed to vomit yellow, and dislike it less than I do bile green. It's the highlight colour in the viewport & scene tree along with the 'transparent background' colour for .tip images.

Where is the definition of the colour stored, and how do I change it?

I presume that, as all versions have changed, it's stored in registry because they all have their own different directory. So, do I need to use Regedit or is there a less brute-force-and-ignorance method of changing it back to vomit yellow? If all else fails, I could probably re-install 4.21 or 4.22 in their own directories to overwrite the registry setting, but I'd prefer to know how to change it less brutally.

Regards,

Richard.

You should be able to change it if you go under Windows > Style > Customize.

I think it is Accents > Accent Color. Just be aware it will also affect other things.
