Is there anyway to change the interface of Video Studio 2018?
I don't really like the blue cloro.
I liked best the grey.
For me it was much easier to read everything in the working panels.
It's only a question!!!

Re: Video Studio 2018
And I'm afraid there's only one answer: Corel designed it that way and did not include any way of customizing the interface. Personally, I can live with it, though I find it all just a bit too dark. There were complaints during beta testing about it, but that did not result in any change by Corel...

A pitty.
The darkness is one of the problems!
Hope one day can be done!

Re: Video Studio 2018
Grey had better contrast.

Re: Video Studio 2018
I'm sorry to say somthing else...
Grey is the best color for any interface for design programmes. More neutral.
Is there anyway to push Corel to make an update which color can be change?

Re: Video Studio 2018
The only way would be for a large number of users to complain to Corel -- and even that would not guarantee anything!

Re: Video Studio 2018
user perception prevails.
I complained for years about the charcoal base colour of the interface - IMHO, it was funereal and I'm getting to close to that to be constantly reminded of it. I liked the brighter blue color of the Ulead interface, before Corel bought VS, and I even suggested the possibility of Corel providing a non-preferred scheme selected via the preferences/UI tab.
Alas, that fell on deaf ears and after a few years I gave it up.
So when 2018 came out with the base colour revision, I was positively impressed. It could have been brighter, but anything was better than graveyard grey.

Re: Video Studio 2018
I'm with you David. I don't mind, and actually like the new color. But that's my preference. The option of maybe 3 different color schemes would be nice though....
