Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

maya UI colours

Hi,

we have a student at our university who is dyslexic and is having real problems with the maya interface. He says certain colour combinations make words easier to see.

Is it possible to widely change the UI colours easily? It maybe that pink with blue text is best for him. I don't want to radically alter every installation we have; ideally a mel or script he could carry with him, or something we could disable for other users or link to his ID/log-in.

thanks

There is Window > Settings/Preferences > Color Settings, though that's mainly for stuff within the interface, not so much the framework itself. Then you can try this for a few default styles: https://3dg.me/3d-graphics/maya/how-t...r-and-ui-style
And finally you can try googling custom UI colors with QT in maya. QT is the framework with which newer versions of the maya interface are built.

thanks, this seems useful as it's a desktop shortcut if I understand it right, so it could be left on each machine for easy access. I'll look into QT coding - I'm sure it should just be hex codes or similar...?

I'm just fishing for replies here now user added image thanks stwert
