Where is the dark gray background for Mac version? (Alias 2016)

So I open the software I see the same light gray background. Smiley Frustrated

 

How can I change it to dark gray (like Maya).  This version is being sold as dark gray (photo). 

 

* Please don't tell me this is only available for Windows as well as Speedform Smiley Mad

 

 

Thanks

Even for Windows, that dark gray color scheme is not the default...but it IS available; you just have to manually Retrieve it.

 

I can't imagine that it would be different for OSX.

I'm not completely certain about the OSX version, but it should be the same or similar:

 

Menu Bar -> Preferences -> Interface -> User Colors...

 

This will open the User Colors window.  At the bottom of that window, File -> Import

 

This will open the file browser and should default to your Alias/UserPrefs2016 folder.  I have a SampleUserColors folder here that was newly installed with 2016.  There are a number of presets here, including Grey-on-black-new.clrs

thank you guys for this feature. Smiley Happy and for your help duaxiong. 

 

I couldn't find the presets (is it a link to download?), but I was able to customize it the way I like it. No more eye strain!!
