How do I change USER INTERFACE color/skin?

[fam477]

I have seen it on GNOMON website, but cant figure out how to change USER INTERFACE colors or where to download a MOD, i figured out how to create marking menus and all, and how to change colors in the 3d space, but how do i change the UI???

I could not find any info on this anywhere on the web.....

The ui uses whatever color scheme your windows has set. so if you take your windows color sceme settings and moidify them maya changes too.

Incidentaly maya doesnet like the xp skin... And if you
use the depault xp skin then you cany change the color manualy.

But hey i never use the xp skin it looks ridiculous and wastes screen estate too much.

so the image posted on this page is actually the result of changing windows skins...?

No, i think its a irix version of maya! But anyway changing widows darker is rather easy (the window color is what controlls the clolor of your markupmenu):

Rightclick on your empty desktop select properties, and choose appearences tab.

set windows and buttons to windows classic, click advanced. choose 3d objects and set the color to darker, maya will follow.

I fdont recomend using the xxp default or skinned looks with maya as this causes problems in maya usage such a splayblast problems...
