Designer1 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Is it possible to change the background color in the library browser? Im finding it hard to fully view selected library items, especially light fixtures with the white background. I clicked around but couldn't find a place where I could adjust this. Thanks!

Kbird1 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 In X11 I think you can use one of the THEMES under Appearance>Colors in Preferences to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this follows the default settings of the Floor Camera. Change the backdrop color there and the library will change as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( either way that would be a weird default setting.... at least to me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 As far as I can tell, it works for the Preview Panel only - which is a camera view. I don't think Themes make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. That purple preview panel is what I was referring to; it follows the Floor Camera defaults for the color in the Backdrop tab. I believed that's what the OP was referring to.

Designer1 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Rob you were right....if you go to.... Default settings > Camera tools > Floor Camera > Backdrop > make sure no backdrop is selected and then in the background color you can select whatever you want. The problem is unless you select this for the default for each plan it defaults back to the white background in each plan. So I will have to change this for my template plan so I wont have to go do this everytime! At least we know where to go to change it now...that was a bit frustrating. It wasn't essential but for me it got to be about the principle of me having to find out how to change the color! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 I was hoping someone had an idea for this... have we lost functionality with this old way of changing the background color? Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks Facter for the reply. Yeah we tried that before but it changes almost everything but the library background color. I think we might have lost the ability to change the library background. Ill keep trying different things to see if i can get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
