vanowm Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Hello. Does anyone know why colors of buttons are wrong in AutoCAD 2023 (maybe started in AutoCAD 2008)? Some computers get magenta hue instead of green. This is how it supposed to look (AutoCAD 2002, same computer): Edited May 24, 2023 by vanowm updated title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Try this, check color theme see if set to Light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanowm Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Color theme doesn't seem to affect this. Even system color theme has no affect. Every autocad restart changes the hue of the buttons: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I doubt they will fix it, Autodesk is pushing to use the Visiual Studio Code now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Have you played with values in the registary ? You can change stuff there that effects colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanowm Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Not sure what registry and/or colors you are referring to...since this seems to be a random hue, I doubt changing any colors would do anything...Also note, the editor doesn't obey autocad or system color theme. It seems to be using win32 GUI controls, which are not theme'able(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Sorry no idea going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 It's been that way for a while now, no one has solved it AFAIK. After such a long time, I doubt if it's even on Autodesk's radar. They are about to retire the VLIDE AFAIK. Plenty of other editors, I only have the VLIDE, Notepad and Visual Studio Code and AutoCAD AutoLISP Extension (not much use to me for work, you need Admin Rights for some things IIRC). At home I also have an APP from Windows APP store, Kate, haven't used it much, so no recommendation yet, it came from the Linux community, though. Many use Notepad++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
