Editing Workspace colors

Post by Diana Kennedy »

One odf the first things I do when I have a new version of MOHO, is costumizing my workspace, so that background and Widget colors match my taste; I am playing around with the trial Version of MOHO 12 and there it seems not to be possible to change that dark grey workspace. Is it just because its a trial or did Moho 12 disable this function?

Don't know about the trial version, but you can edit the workspace background in the preferences Editor Colors tab Background color.

Yes, just like it is in AS11. But in MOHO 12, there isn't such a tab. At least not in the trial. So maybe its in the full version.

I'm not sure why that would be. The trial limitations nor the list of features for Debut say it's missing.

I made a screenshot. See that the dark-grey workspace isn't anywhere to be changed.:

Whereas the last tab in MOHO12 only shows me that:

Gone?
These are bad news.
It may sound silly, but it was an important feature to me. This dark-grey colors make my eyes tired and adds to my problem of being depressive.
Changing the Workplace colors to a bright and clear theme helps me working better and more effective.

Well, guess, I'm going to skip Moho12 in the hope they will return that feature in Moho13

On the Preferences/Appearance tab, change the "brightness" control. That should lighten up the dark grey background - it'll still be greyscale, but you can get it anywhere between black and white. You may need to change the "highlights" color just underneath, but that's easy enough.

Yeah, the workspace is where artwork goes, that is Background on the Editor Colors tab. What you seem to be talking about is the UI background color, which as Ahroo said, is the Brightness slider on the Appearance tab.

Yes, I saw that slider. Its better than nothing, but I would prefer the return of the fuction that allowed you to customize the UI background in whole new colors.

That's not likely to happen since they had to do a major UI overhaul to change that.
