customized user colors

[designgestalt]

hello everybody,
I just started very recently using KS7 as we were in the middle of a project and I wanted to get that sorted first, before migrating to the new version.
so my question might be a bit late:
I prefer the dark environment in pretty much all the applications I work with, is it CAD, PS or Keyshot.
now, with the new version when I pick a part of my model i.e. the part is "highligthed" with a dark blue area against a dark grey background.
I find this very irritating and eye-tiring (is that a proper english word?!?)
the contrast is way to subtle and was much better in KS6 with a light grey angainst a dark grey!
is there a possiblity to customize the colors?
thanks a bunch in advance

1. With KeyShot closed, open the KS7settings.xml file in your KeyShot 7 resources folder using a text edit app such as Notepad.
2. Search for "experimental" using ctrl+f and change "false" to "true" then save and close.
3. Open "Stylesheet Editor" from the Window menu in KeyShot.
4. Search for "QAbstractItemView::item:selected" and change the background color to whatever you like.

I know you can save the .style and open and apply manually each time you use KeyShot but I will have to get back to you on a way to automatically read it upon open.

See attached screenshot.

Again, this item will only be visible if experimental features has been set to true.

As far as auto-loading this you will have to hardcode the path in the same xml file. However, as soon as you go into preferences and save changes it will reset.
