Thats what I was beginning to think myself as I couldn't see a way to alter it. I just seen the thread so thought i would ask :) Thanks for your input though its appreciated

Hi MEB... thanks for the quick reply.... appreciate it. Yes I have tried that and whilst it does marginally lighten it, i would like to swap this away from dark grey completely as whilst I am loving the program, I am finding the very dark background to be too hard to see clearly. Otherwise its looking really impressive.

Hi, sorry to jump in on this thread, and I hope you don't mind. I am also a new user and not sure if my query is the same as what the original poster was referring to but I would also like to change the dark user interface... i.e toolbars and general program surrounding area. I can lighten the workspace as described above by MEB but that wasn't the dark area I would like to change.
