"Out of the box", there are no menubars. Are you talking about the Title Bar of the application where the QAT is located?

Yes I should have been more accurate. it is the quick access tool bar

You can have any color as long as it is light gray or dark gray. Found in Options,....

Sounds kind of like the first Ford Cars, you can have any color you want as long as it is black. HI HI.

Ok, Thanks

I'm halfway surprised that nobody has come out with a 3rd party "skinning" application to remedy this....

...because..?

It is my opinion that "skins" for AutoCAD would be way cool. I'd like a Terminator or Alien theme. Sign me up.

I'm actually getting used to the gray. It's like working in a steel mill.

Are we really locked into the gray's? I looked in Display and saw no way to change other than the work area white screen to black.

...because..?

I guess the people who know how to do this stuff are working on paying projects rather then web freebies these days....

I run a theme application at home for XP and I don't recall if it changes ACAD 2010 or not. I will have to check.

...and I thought it was just the 'girlie' girls who at school had to cover their text and exercise books with flowery paper jackets and draw pretty pictures everywhere....:D:D:D:roll::roll:

it's two shades of grey for goodness sake:twisted:

I want mine to be Royal Blue, with an Everton Crest, instead of AutoCAD grey.

Ok, I don't care what color it is. If we have no choice I'll live with it.
