PSP X3 General

Post by cajunone »

Is there any way to change the color scheme for X3? the darkness of it is nice, however I would really like to switch it to something I can actually see .. maybe a light gray or something would be good even.

Under the View menu, uncheck the option for "Use Graphite Workspace Theme" for a lighter option.

No, not at the moment there aren't. At least nothing official from Corel.

You can add some registry keys to change the color of some elements but I haven't tried it. And I'm not sure how well it works, if some color are not adjustable while others are or what.

So all I can really say is that there are no other actual workspace themes.

It is possible.
One of the posters in the Corel newsgroups managed to change the colours for PSPPX2, I had saved the method, but then my back-up drive died, the file is lost.

Trev posted a link to just such a file somewhere here on the forums as well. That's how I learned about it.

The original poster will have to hurry.
Sadly Trevor Bowden died in October 2010, I believe his website will cease at the end of January 2011.

Thanks for the link, I will file it somewhere safe this time.
