Hello, I saw this Photoshop skin in purple on Youtube.

How can I set my Photoshop to purple.

Do I have to edit a skin file for this ?
Unfortunately I have not found anything on the internet.

I would be very grateful for help.

I do not know why, but let it be 🙂 Only view values. Maybe someone will come in handy.

The whole point of the Photoshop interface is that it should not interfere with the image, and it should not disturb your color perception. No doubt such modifications exist out there, but nothing like this is possible natively in Photoshop, and this is probably the wrong place to ask.

Nice to know … but this color modification itself would seem to be a degredation of Photoshop’s interface that no professional user should consider except for temporary »messing around«.

Everyone has their own intentions. Perhaps the author really needs it 🙂

In that case he probably doesn't need Photoshop. Photoshop is professional software that people use for a living, it's not a toy.

it's both. some people use it professionally and some people use it as a toy. nobody's trying to change YOUR UI... they want to change their own.

If you see someone doing something that might be a huge mistake it does not seem improper to point it out. 

Sure, they may have made a deliberate choice and coconsiderd all the pertinent facts but they might also have overlooked something.

it would have been fine to say "i think that's a bad idea". But instead they implied that nobody is allowed to use this software unless they are a "professional" and they leave the UI alone. Then went further to say that photoshop is not a toy, as though it should never be used for fun to create joy and happiness for others.

photoshop can be pretty much whatever we want it to be.. why discourage people who want to use it for fun?

Besides there's a reason why the option of Customising th UI is there... No?

dude this guy totally woke up on the wrong side of the bed. [abuse removed by moderator] and enjoy the "Non customised life" man let us enjoy the Scrip... @jazz-y thanks bro you rocked it!!! #confusetheenemies

EDIT 1: Added the ability to change colors from the interface and save to file. In theory, the colors of the interface can be edited - in practice there are so many of them that it is still inconvenient to do it.
(forgive me)

EDIT 3:

Added compatibility with the hex format used in CS6 and fixed a couple of points for new versions of Photoshop.
Compatibility with CS6 is rather arbitrary, since a different approach to the organization of the script interface is required to remove hangs during rendering.

EDIT 5:

- added the ability to change the color of an element at once for all color themes
- for fun added a mode for generating random colors of elements. It can work in conjunction with a filter and helps to find the name of the element responsible for a particular interface element (visually by color)

This is the last revision. Sometime i need to stop 😄

EDIT 6:

This version removes support for old UIColors.cel files (in HEX format). 

Added:

  • preset system. Presets are stored in a separate file, which allows you to transfer them between computers if necessary (the UIColors.desc preset file is stored in the Adobe Photoshop Settings folder) or between versions of Photoshop. This can be handy if you have a need to store and quickly switch between different themes.
  • you can import any UIColors.txt file into presets (for example, my version with a gray share button).
  • filter field can now search by HEX color values
  • checkbox 'current color theme' allows you to work only with the colors of the current theme
  • added ability to get color swatch directly from photoshop window (this function only works if script file is placed in photoshop presets folder)

HOW TO USE:

Copy code from that post into a plain text file (*.txt), change its extension to jsx, drag it into the Photoshop window, or double click to run (if you plan to run it often, you can put this file to the Presets\ Scripts\ folder of your photoshop - in this case it will appear in the application scripts menu).


After you've changed the colors of the controls you want, save the UIColors.txt file to disk and place it in your photoshop directory:

  • In Windows: path to your version of Photoshop\Required\UIColors.txt
  • In MacOS, you need to go to Programs -> Photoshop, open the menu and select 'Show Package Contents', then move saved file to the /Contents/Required/UIColors.txt

I found too that 00.90 bug when I wanted to evel json. Then I corrected it and wanted to play more with, but I realised that has no sense, as if I'm right changes to UIColors.txt will be applied with next Ps launch?

 

 

There's similar file in Requied folder of Bridge CS6 (but not later in current CC), that is much longer, complex and though you see many arrays and RGBA values it seems to be written in binary format: GlobalResources

Yes, only after a restart.
Question - I was drawing color circles in the onDraw() element. After adding the colorPicker, I needed to update the color of the element. I was unable to re-call onDraw() or drawing in the body of the function (there was an error when I tried to fill, but it actually ran). To solve this problem, I just moved the element +/- 1 pixel by calling onDraw() indirectly. Is there a more adequate way to redraw the element?

The same bug is with transformation. When you don't do any change you'll have error. Contrary to Document Object Model in ActionManager to avoid that, it would be enough use all values, even if all were set to zero.

If you are using a mac, then (it seems) this file with interface colors settings is not there. In windows, you just run the script, change the colors you want, save the file instead of the old one (don't forget to make a backup)

Comment.
This unfinished useless file has existed since CS6, as indicated by the text inside - "Version: 13.0". In CS6 it is called UIColors.cel. The files in the OWL folder are a similar rubbish lingering since then.
 
 
Cool script.
For some reason it doesn't work in CS6. Control colors do not change. And it starts up for a very loooooooooong time.
 
For 2020, you can try replacing
    parent.location.y = parent.location.y - 1
    parent.location.y = parent.location.y + 1
with
    img.visible = false;
    img.visible = true;

True, that version 13 was for me significant, as often I still use Ps CS6 😉

It's just for fun. I have not tested it for compatibility with anything other than the latest version of Photoshop. In CS6, each RGB value is encoded with a HEX triplet.
Toggling the visibility of an element causes it to redraw. Thanks!
