interface color

[mindyt743513]

Hi, how the heck do you change the background color of the iterface?  It is way way too dark.  It's ridiculous!  In other Adobe programs you can, why not Premier?  

[R Neil Haugen]

In the Preferences, of course. Appearance tab ...

I know.  I changed that but it didn't make a difference at all.  

[R Neil Haugen]

Huh. On my rig it changes the background from near black to a medium gray. Well, accross several rigs I've been running.

It's not changing at all?

Should look like this:

I finally got it to change but how do I get the highlight color.  I tried clicking and double clicking but nothing happened.  The menus are so dark and tiny, it's hard to read.

To change the highlights, you have to move the sliders; clicking on the Sample icon won't work because it's a graphic, not a button.

I made the same mistake when I first tried to change the highlights. 😀

[mindyt743513]

Could you put a screenshot up?  I'm not quite understanding.

[mindyt743513]

I did that.  

and this is the result 

I dont see much of a difference, is there?  

[Ann Bens]

Changes are quite suttle, but looks fine to me.

But your system shows gpu issues.

Looks to me like you have a small screen/low resolution, that also could influence the interface.

Something to note on the new System Compatibility Report

This new feature will tell you if your system has a known problem with your system. There is the option to click “continue anyway” but do so at your own risk, particularly when the issue is a driver issue. 

In support and engineering, we’ve determined that a very high rate of crashes are driver-dependent. Premiere Pro uses the full capability of the hardware, and a bug in the driver may not be noticeable for other tasks, but could be causing a crash in Premiere.

If the System Compatibility Report is suddenly telling you you need to update a driver, it means we’ve identified a potential crash that can be caused by a bug in the driver you’re using. You may not be experiencing this crash now, but the problem exists. It’s like a “check engine” light on your dash - you can keep driving, but something is wrong.

Adobe is being much more proactive in identifying bad drivers and noting them in the System Compatibility Report, so a system that passed yesterday may flag a driver today if something new was identified. We want you to have the best experience with Premiere and this is gonna help.

yes, I tried that but for some reason it won't update

Okay... I might be killed for suggesting this, lol. But please proceed on your own risk, and make sure not to play around with anything else.
