Changing the toolbar color

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I am having problems with AutoCad 2010. I have to run my machine in high contrast black. That is a black background with white writing. I have to do this for visual reasons.

I had been able to change the setting in all of my AutoCad's until this on.

What I am looking for is where it is a charcoal grey with white writing. I am needing to change that charcoal color to black. Also do you know if this will change the drop down box colors?

Thank you in advance.

OPTIONS command>Display Tab>Colors button, that's the only place there is
for color controls for the program.

Everything else is either by Windows Settings. Hope that helps.

Are you referring to the background for a field, perhaps? If so, the FIELDDISPLAY system variable controls the background. It's default is 1 (background on) and if you set it to 0, it'll turn the background off.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately neither one of them worked for the area that I was talking about.

Where the charcoal grey is on mine is across the very top. Where the Red A is with the down arrow. The it goes into your short cut keys and the program name and what the name of the drawing is that you are working in.

When I hit the drop down arrow beside the A it pulls up light grey with white writing (this is where file, open, new those type of things is at). My vision restricts me from seeing a white background with black letters. What I see is a black background with white letters. That is why I am trying to get it changed. I have contacted AutoCAD and they won't answer me just told me to take it to the discussion area.

I appreciate your time.

Sorry about that. If I would have taken the time to read the title of your post, I wouldn't have sounded like such an idiot.

I've looked through the options and I don't see anything that would apply. Doesn't mean it's not there, just that I don't know where it would be. I'll nose around a bit more, and if I find anything, I'll post again.

Thanks for taking the time to look Joe. I am hoping that we can find something to make the color change.

Wish I could have found something for ya. I just don't know of any way to do it. I don't want to say it can't be done, but it's beyond me. It might be something to toss at that Autocad wish list.

Have you fooled around here on the Desktop to see if it made a difference for you?
