TheSpartanWitch Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hello all! I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change Paint.net's background color. What I mean is the basic light grey of the Paint.net window itself, not any of the images or layers I work with. I do a fair amount of image work that ends up being displayed on message boards with dark backgrounds, and it would be handy to be able to change the grey to black. It's sometimes difficult to judge how bright a border is going to look when it's against the light grey of the window. I'd appreciate any input & thanks in advance!

Shochi Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I have WIN10PRO so when i choose BG for windows and there is an option in the personalize screen: "Automatically pick an accent color from my background". switch to ON . just make sure your BG of windows is dominate with the color you choose.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 There are two themes, blue & gray. Find them in the settings dialog. http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/SettingsDialog.html Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpartanWitch Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Shochi - I am also using Windows 10, though not the pro version. I do have it set to choose a color from my background, but the only thing that changes in my windows is the title bar of any given program, not the in-program background itself. Ego Eram - I did see that, and had found it before I posted. I have the options of Blue and Light under Color Schemes, and neither one changes the actual background of the window, just the shading of the toolbars.
