Inventor 2020 Change Icon Color in Windows?

petestrycharske — Fri, 31 May 2019 20:24:02 GMT

All,

Good morning! I've been working with some clients with Inventor 2020 and they want to know if there is a way to change the Inventor icon colors in Windows? They prefer the yellow and blue icons instead of the new dark blue / light blue icons in Windows. I've not seen an option for this, like the "Amber" UI option in the Application Options, so I thought I would see if anyone knows of a way. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks in advance for any assistance, hope all is well and have a most blessed day!

Peace,

Pete

Hi Pete,

Like you have found out in 2020, Amber theme is the only other choice available. We are working on dark theme but it is still work-in-process, not yet available to public.

Many thanks!

@johnsonshiue,

Good afternoon! Thanks so much for the update! The other question that comes up is the icon colors via the open / save dialog boxes, etc. Is there going to be a way to recover the old blue & yellow icons when opening and saving the files? Some folks don't care for the new dark blue / light blue icon colors there either. Just wanted to share that with you as well. Thanks for the help and have a most blessed day!

Peace,
Pete

Hi Pete,

You mean the file icon in the File Explorer, right? I am afraid there is an option to change that. I will forward the comments to the project team.

Many thanks!

Thanks for the confirmation @johnsonshiue! If you could pass along those comments, it'd be great! While it's not that big of a deal to me, I know that some of my customers would rather see the old icon colors. Have an awesome and most blessed day!

Peace,

Pete

Is there a way to change the color of the start up icon? Vault used to be a teal green/blue color, and now it is orange -the same color of the Inventor icon. I'll typically grab the wrong software when I'm scrolling through screens.

Hi! I am not aware of such option to change shortcut icon color. Please feel free to submit it as an idea on Inventor Ideas Forum.

Many thanks!

I have only been able to change the color of the icons on the UI (ribbon and file tree).

file - options - colors - UI Theme -check box for amber

restart the software. it helps a bit, but not fully. I will post again if I find out for the file browser
