Ran- I really like the colors of your home version of UI. Ive already managed to change my blender viewport background, but I really want to get the panel and
button colors the exact same as yours. So if you happen to have the RGB values saved somewhere (I imagine you would as I dont think you have those values
commited to memory) then Id much appreciate to know what they are. Im not concerned about fonts or anything like that. Id also like to see how these UI colors
look in Wings.
For those considering Silo over Wings

I don't have them written down... I just backup my b.blend file, which is created when you hit CTRL-U to save the setup.
Unless you have a 28" monitor, you don't want that. I will export the theme file and post that. Put the .py file in the blender scripts folder, open blender and open a scripts window. Click on the "Scripts" menu in the header and one of the selections will be "Themes". If you put the python theme file in the right dir, my theme will pop up as one of the options in the Scripts->Themes menu. |

Ran's Blender Theme
unzip this to C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts\ or wherever you point Blender to find scripts. Launch blender Open a Script Window From the Scipts menu in the header choose Theme and the flyout should contain my theme. On the page I linked with the cutomization tutorial is a link to the icon PNG I use and how to use it. |

Thanks Ran. But this is really strange, I dont have a .blender/scripts folder inside by Blender folder, even when I activate show hidden folders. Ive checked
online docs and they say that ..../.blender/scripts is the correct place to put python scripts. very strange

arquebus, if you are on Mac (as you write path with '/' ), remember app. are folder, so right-clic on blender app. icon (to open package) where hidden
".blender" folder is.

While you got the .blender folder open, create a new folder (in .blender) called "icons" (without quotes of course) and you can update your icons to
some nicer ones (I like 'em better than the built-in ones. There are other icon themes out there, but you can hunt those down yourself.
 )
Copy this PNG image to that directory http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/1645/colouredv23.png Launch Blender. Pull down the User Prefs windows and Click on the "Themes" button... You will see the current theme name (s/b Theme_Ran if you loaded my theme correctly) with a pop-up selector ("up/down" arrow) next to it. Pressing this will pop-up a list of installed themes. Theme_Ran s/b one of 'em To the right of that is a free-form text field that will allow you to rename the Theme if you want. Below that is a pop-up menu that defaults to "3D View", press that and select "Buttons and UI" from the pop-up list (1st one at upper left). Below that is another selector that, once you change to "Buttons and UI" will default to "Outliner"... press this one and look at the lower right of the list and there will be a selection called "Icon File"... select that and a new pop-up selector will appear. The default icons are called "Built-in"... press the selector button and you will see the new "coloured23.png" as a selection. Pick that to populate Blender with the new icon set. It is a 2.4x compat. version of the upcoming v2.5 icons... sortof
Remeber to hit CTRL-U again to re-save the user prefs. or Blender will switch back to the built-in set when you re-launch. Be warned, though... once you do this, the icons will no longer match the icons shown in many tutorials... you'll just have to go by icon position. If needed, by following the above instructions, you can return to the "Built-in" icons easily. |

arquebus, if you are on Mac
nope. Id really like to use a Mac, but until Apple stops forcing their customers to use their hardware, I wont use a Mac. I use winXP for 3D and games (wont use Vista either) and Ubuntu Linux for everything else. -if anyone can tell me where I find the .blender/scripts folder Id appreciate it

what a dumb place to hide the scripts folder though You chose to put it there... check the installer options the next time you install Blender... it asks up front where to put user files. Blender Install Dialogue You obviously chose the "Application Data directory" option. I chose the "installation directory" option.
