Autocad 2018 Ribbon Color

[jvanbenschoten]

Ok - I know of several ways to customize Autocad colorwise to appear the way I want it.  I know Autodesk has a light color scheme and dark color scheme that you can choose from.  What i'm trying to accomplish is the adjust the ribbon colors.  I have a user that is very sensitive to the new color scheme and has been getting headaches and eye fatigue based on the new color scheme.  Is there a way to change the Autocad default light or dark to something else?  Or are they locked?  Need an answer fast please.

Hi Jeff -

Check out this post. It would be a good place for you to start and this tells me it can be done. By default you are correct you only get the light and dark themes. With a little manipulation you may be able to create a new color theme for your user or reach out to someone from the developer team to assist.

I don't think we can switch other than dark and light theme at the moment. However in 2018, there are some intuitive UI changes that can help you change colors at various levels. Please watch these video for more info.
