How do I set my start up screen to have a black background. I have my setting set to dark theme but this didnt seem to change it.

Thanks

Hi!

What version are you using?

Can you post a print about you're seeing?

I am running Professional 2021.

The screen is when you first open the program. The ribbon on the top is dark theme but the features below/ background are not. Like where your recent files are shown, your projects, and to create a new part/ assembly/ drawing/ presentation.

It has been a few years since I have used Inventor, my most recent job used solidworks and I just want to get everything set up again how I like it. It is taking me a minute to get all my colors/ hot keys set back up. But I am glad to be back to Inventor.

In IV2024, the Home screen in Dark mode turns a dark grey, but not black.  You can customize some parts of the color schemes in 2024, but I don't see anything for customizing the Home screen... still dark grey is almost black, right?  😉

The dark theme was (still is) been progressivelly implemented along the versions.

The 2022 version was one of the firsts one, so some tools, windows etc, don't have the dark mode yet implemented.

The same for the tools... even in inventor 24, some tools have the new style, others are still in "work in progress".

It's more complicated then we think to create the tools windows... it takes some time.

As an example, fillet tool is already implemented as the new style, chamfer is still in implementation.

In each version, more and more tools and windows are implemented.
