Disagree? Lets test the theory - suppose Windows came in bright frikkin Yellow with no ability to change the raging Yellow abyss or even to change the background to your fave NASA, luxury sports car, or family picture. Software isn't much different in my opinion. The little things in life are often the most helpful. Any change that helps the user tweak the GUI to their liking shouldn't be a polling matter. Simple changes or even if you still want to argue that they are not "simple" - make big impacts. Considering AutoCAD has this ability and is clearly not Autrodesk's cash cow the real mystery here is why it hasn't been implemented into Revit already. Pick color, great dark gray, changing files, boom - start Revit. That doesn't even have to reside in the GUI, it can be a utility run outside of the application. The only component missing is how you tell it when and what to change it to. In the code exists a piece that tells it here is what color to use for windows and borders and menu background ALREADY. The Revit framework has a color to begin with. And before going on a long explanation of why programming is not easy - I will explain why it IS easy. ![]() I also can't understand why such an easy programmable change is not available. I'm guessing you guys see barely half of all actual enhancement requests. If I have to sign up on a website just to view a price of a pair of shoes or something - guess what - aint buying shoes from you pal. I hear nothing less from Revit users I support at work. Perhaps the only place Autodesk looks or input is their own community pools like AUGI or the O-forums? How bout a user enhancement request tool that is generated directly from the application without having to go through channels so you get a raw look at what people are really barking about. And since the annual release cycle post Autocad R14, the changes to the plot utility were on everyones hit list for years but nothing was ever tweaked. ![]() Express tools commonly added to installs as an option should have been an integral never left out component expressed by every user of AutoCAD I've ever met. The block browser so long ago added to it was begged for by enormous amounts of users to be added to the full version, but never added into it. If you need to change hundreds or thousands then there are faster ways - this app has no scriptability or services associated with it.To say that community support is all it takes to get an Autodesk feature or enhancement is laughable. If you need to change the color of icons with very few clicks, at ninety-nine cents this app is worth it. Some icons are small, it would be nice if there was a slider along the side or at the top that would increase or decrease the size of the displayed icons.īy the way, this app is working fine on High Sierra. I think there should be Preference menu option to choose a light or dark theme that is consistent across the UI with the exception of the drop-zone canvas. I have a preference for Dark Themes as I have three monitors and Dark Themes are just a lot easier on my eyes. The top of the UI is brilliant white and bottom black. There should be a Preferences option to change this “drop=-zone canvas” to user selected color. It is unfortunate that you can’t change the color of this background, light colors just don’t contrast well with it and grays are of course invisible to nearly invisible. You drag the icon(s) to the grey portion of the UI and it will change their color. A Preferences menu with the ability to select how to represent the color would be nice. Hex is obviously good for people doing web design but isn’t all that useful for many other things. Your only choice for color display is Hex, and you can’t change it to CMYK, RGB, or HSB, etc. This works fine, it just took a little clicking to figure it out. You can save favorite colors, first you select the color you want by clicking the colorwell at the top of the UI, which opens Apple’s Color Picker, then click the plus sing in the bottom right of the UI and it adds a new colorwell at the bottom. It is good the app is simple because like so many apps on the app store, there is no help file. App is simple and does one thing (changes the color of icons) and seems to do it just fine. So here is some feedback as well as my thoughts on the app. The developer says to give him feedback but it is unclear how to do that as there is no mechanism in the app to do it and I already mentioned the website without any English option. It is probably an abandoned app like so many here on the app store. ![]() The link to support is the developer’s blog? Entirely in Italian with no obvious way to select English to figure out just where the support might be.
