    <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure this forum is the right place to ask such questions ... anyway:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I prefer Dark Theme for all software I use.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't always use Visual Studio when working with Inventor API.&lt;BR /&gt;Most of the time I do some fast-testing of my ideas by means of temporary external iLogic rule that I develop with Notepad++ (NPP).&amp;nbsp;NPP got most of it's power through Plugins, and one of my favorite NPP Plugins is "Language Help". Being properly setup it allows to open "Autodesk Inventor API Help" (admapi_27_0.chm) from context of the particular code keyword according to file extension (in my case *.iLogicVB)&amp;nbsp;...not ideal but better than nothing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately I got an issue of customizing Inventor API CHM file's text background color on my new PC with Windows 11 (which I don't suffer on my old PC with Win 10).&lt;BR /&gt;On Windows 10 I used to customize "Internet Options..." (set of system settings that is also available from the "Options" drop-down present on the ribbon of Help browser). This was a partial* workaround as doesn't applied to navigation pane.&lt;BR /&gt;but ...&lt;BR /&gt;...for some reason changing "background" color on Windows 11 don't have any effect to CHM anymore (background stays pure white)!&lt;BR /&gt;I can only guess that the issue is somehow related to the retirement** of Internet Explorer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Any Ideas on how to set dark/black background color while browsing Autodesk Inventor API Help (CHM) file on Windows 11?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Maybe the desired can be achieved installing some 3rd party Help browser?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;*&lt;BR /&gt;I would definitely prefer the "Autodesk Inventor API Help" file itself got the built-in Dark/Light-Theme toggle button alike in AutoHotkey Help:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="1.png" style="width: 600px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1159455i1F1F55799A6489D0/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="1.png" alt="1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.. but with nowaday's Autodesk service this seems like unreachable dream.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;**&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;According to updated data - IE seems be still present in Win 11 (see &lt;A href="http://www.theverge.com/tldr/2022/8/3/23290171/how-to-use-internet-explorer-windows-11-why-microsoft-why" target="_blank"&gt;www.theverge.com/tldr/2022/8/3/23290171/how-to-use-internet-explorer-windows-11-why-microsoft-why&lt;/A&gt;)&lt;/P&gt;</description>
