How to change the color of the AE 2025 panel?

Community Beginner ,
Nov 29, 2024 Nov 29, 2024

In the new AE2025 update, they removed the option for you to change the color of your After Effects panel. This is an important option for those of us who don't like the same old thing, and we like changes. I believe that we subscribers should flood them with messages to release this option that was so important.
Let's flood them with messages, guys. Who knows, maybe in the next update they'll come back with the option to change the color of our After Effects. After all, we're paying an expensive subscription for this.

Hi there,

I recommend not using the Console in After Effects. You might experience stability issues. If you'd like to make changes to the appearance of the UI, please go to Edit > Preferences > Appearance. I hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Ishan

This does not answer the question, these settings under Apperance have been available in past versions. Users were able to edit the rest of the UI as a custom color through Console (i.e. the default Blue accent color). Why was it removed?

I actually find it ridiculous how often Adobe keeps REMOVING features & functionality from their programs for seemingly no reason! Like this is actually a step backwards. 
Just more and more reason to look for more alternatives on the market these days. JamesLeeAnimations is right.

Well they're not ADDING anything, so what else are they going to do with their workday?
