Autocad 2005 Classic view?

[Erkden]

Hello all.

Maybe a silly question: Im trying to change the overall view of 2005 so that it appears more like 2002.

Im afraid the baby yellow and blue and general bubbly nature of 2005 is making my eyes unhappy.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Erik

Acad 2002 was alot easy on the eye then came 2004 and we had an all new layout of icons, took a while to get use to but stick with it because 2004-5-6 all use the new looking icons.The only thing i can think of is to customizethe tool bar, however this would take ages to do so, uhhmm not worth doing.

Add a theme to Windows XP and AutoCAD can look like anything you want.

You're saying that XP can control what the buttons look like in Autocad?

How do you do that?

Thanks for the help.

Sure it can. Programs that are made the right way will follow the theme that is set in XP. There are several prgrams out there that can change the way XP looks and acts. I have sevel themes installed on my machine. Here are a few examples...
