Control of Contrast and Color Options for Menus and Toolbars in NX7
Control of Contrast and Color Options for Menus and Toolbars in NX7
(OP)
Beyond Preferences, Visualization/Background in NX7, are there any additional drop downs not completely buried in the program that a User can use to set contrast and color for dropdowns, menus, and overall look and feel - without having to touch Windows Environment Variables?
Dealing with a situation where some of the subtle color shades (light grey and white - some color palette choices in the blue/green spectrum) are just not working for some users.

Preferences -> User Interface -> Layout
...that's all that NX provides control of. If you wish to tinker further, you're at the mercy of the Windows settings.

Set ugii_override_cdf= \ directory \my-colors.cdf where
"my-colors.cdf" is a color palette that the user setup himself under preferences - color palette - Save cdf as...
The nice thing is that the partfile will not be affected, it will only be displayed in different colors on this particular users screen. ( The preview will show the colors from the different setup but the model will revert back to the original colors on the "next screen".)
