Change Workspace / User Interface color from Dark to Light?

Hello,
I'm new to AE, but have been using Photoshop / Illustrator for quite a while - and am accustomed to changing the UI from a dark gray to a lighter color.
How do you change the Workspace / UI in After Effects CS6 from the default dark gray to a lighter gray?
I checked the Preferences FAQ before posting, but couldn't isolate the option.
Thanks

Ah, thank you! I wish I could change the blue outlines, as well. But, I think I ask too much

  • How do I change the gradient so my background colour goes from dark to light?

    I am a relative newbie to PSE. If have tried adding a gradient to my background colour but I have noticeable lines. I need it to go from dark to light from left to right.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi Mike
    You use the gradient tool (foreground to background color)
    e.g set colors to black/white at bottom of tool pallet
    Select gradient tool and set mode to lighten
    Click on top of your image and drag down to the bottom (holding the shift key whilst dragging ensures a vertical line)
    Then release the mouse.

  • Cannot change the Canvas Extension Color from "Background" to a color of my choosing. Is this a glitch, or is there some setting that I can change?

    It depends on how exactly you are doing it but to change the background, I suggest watch this video:

  • Using OS X 10.6.8 on my IMac, I find that items on my message list no longer "fade" from dark to light when I click on them. I recently switched the font from Arial to Helvetica to permit me to select italics for any word. I am composing in rich text.

    Not sure why it would default to IMAP?  But any how, start the account anew, fill in the first page of info, but before clicking on the Create button, hold down the Option key until the Create button changes to read Continue.  Click continue, and proceed in a more manual process during which you can set the account type as POP.

  • Changing Flash CS3 Interface colors

    The interface on my Windows XP install of Flash CS3 has an
    odd pink color that makes seeing the edge of the stage difficult
    for me. I can change the stage color but I prefer white. Is there
    any way to set the color behind the stage to a more reasonable gray
    or such?
    BTW, I've tried changing the Windows theme without
    luck.

    Flash used to be a designers tool but as time has progressed,
    not only are we seeing Flash become more of a RIA tool (although
    Flex still takes the cake there), there is also a clear division
    now between designers and developers in studios.
    AS3s learning curve is high, don't get me wrong but I think
    the important thing here is that Adobe is separating
    design/development as well. Let the designers do what they do and
    the developers do their part.
    In smaller studios where a designer may be responsible for
    also adding in the interaction, this can prove difficult but it
    isn't impossible.
    Remember also that just because AS3 is here doesn't mean
    that you have to use it. Adobe is still providing AS2 Fla as an
    option when creating a new file and it still supports AS2 coding. I
    know A LOT of people that are still using AS2 and aren't planning a
    change until mid-08 or later it will probably be that way for most.
    The real beauty in AS3 is the object oriented approach it
    takes to development (the gui for coding still sucks and I
    personally use FlashDevelop) and really allows for almost all
    interaction be created with code. Like I said before, this allows
    designers to remove themselves from the code and save their time
    for their primary role.

  • How do I change a layer selection color from black to a color?

    Somehow I've turned off the color selection so that I don't have a color when I select a part of a drawing on a layer.
    The drawing area stays black whether I have selected it or not and I don't know how to turn back on the color.
    Could someone tell me how I can turn on the color again so that when I select a line it changes from black to red or magenta or whatever?
    Thanks for the help.

    You can also control what color is used by double clicking on the layer name and changing the colro for the layer option.

  • How to change the iPad interface language from Chinese to English?

    On my iPad's 'Settngs' software I was selecting Chinese and Arabic keyboards to enable input in those languages which I am learning and went on to activate those languages in other settings also.   This somehow changed the interface language to Chinese and now program names and menus in 'Settings' program are all in Chinese which I cannot understand and thus cannot go back to English.   How to change to English language without having to restore or reset my iPad as I do not want to loose the data in it.

  • How to change 9.0 background color from black?

    The general display background for Acrobat 9.0 is black. How
    do I change it to a more tolerable color?
    I am not referring to in-document background, which is white
    by default. I am referring to the black wallpaper that is present
    when opening the program, before opening a pdf file to view. The
    black stays behind the documents, giving too harsh a contrast.
    Windows XP lets me control the color of my desktop
    background. Can Adobe Acrobat 9.0 do the same?
    Thanks,

  • Change iPod user interface behavior?

    Are there any hidden ways to change the iPod control behavior? I'd really like the iPod to not go into "adjust volume" mode whenever I accidentally touch the round mouse pad thingy.

    The only way you can make sure that the volume doesn't go up is by putting the hold switch on. You can't change the interface of the ipod. It is not possible that I know of.
    Plus I wouldn't do it anyways.

  • Compelling User Interface - UIX

    Hi,
    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.2, we developed an application using UIX and now it is fully operational.
    The client want to change the user interface (colors, fonts and so on) and create a more compelling look and feel.
    I know that I can build a custom l&f instead the default "blaf" or "minimal", is there any good example available? or even better, is there any place/company selling new skins for UIX applications?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  • Change default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray?

    How do I change the default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray in illustrator CS6?
    In the older versions, the toolbar backgrounds were light gray. It easier to read on light gray backgrounds.
    THe same question applies to Photoshop CS6. InDesign CS6 has light gray backgrounds.
    thanks

    I should have looked a little harder for the answer.
    To change the interface background color to another shade of gray in Photoshop go to:

    The same method applies to Illustrator.
