Hi

First post, I don't this has been discussed (apologies if it has).  Downloaded & started using AutoCad Lt 2016 last week when I also renewed my subscription.  The colours of the tool palettes appear vey indistinct - I can see there is the option of dark/light, but any other way to get to the 2015 colours.

I'm having trouble working out which button is which.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ian Clarke

There were only two color schemes in AutoCAD 2015: Dark and Light.  What "other" colors did you have?

I've just opened up both alongside each other.  The only options as you say are light or dark.  However looking at the individual buttons, when in the light option, the symbols are light blue (in both) but half in white in the 2016 Lt, and this white blends into the background.

I'm thinking the more I use the more I'll just select automatically without being bothered whether I can actually read the buttons.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, please blindly pick if that works for you.  Don't blame me I don't work as a programmer for AutoDesk.  You were the one that alluded to other colors in 2015.  Maybe you did some customization (assuming that is even possible) or you were using some sort of add-on program that gave you additional control over how things looked?  Complaints should be taken up with your local authorized AutoDesk reseller or sent directly to AutoDesk.

John

Thanks again.

Been looking at how I set up Lt 2015, but as always, got to get on and do some work!

If I find the solution will post here.

Best regards
