    Why does trends in graphics have to occur in programs like XDPX10?
    When I work I need to be able to easily and fast find what I am looking for and has no need for fashion trends.

    Yikes, tried the Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S and lost all my customization :-( (yes, as I contorted my hand and fingers to do this and hit Enter, I remembered that it wasn't a clever thing to do, but too late!)

    Isn't there a way that can be saved, as in PaintShop Pro where I can save a custom workspace, well, lots of custom workspaces :-)
    Very very handy.
    I have often wondered about this.
    Oh dear, now I have to do the whole Xara custom toolbar thing again.. grrr

    Ha, was it that simple?
    Now I am back to black and the dialog box shows everything like intended.

    - one of the reasons I stick with the black interface these days; I still dislike it, but as zeb once said, the idea is to look at the art not the interface.... don't get the benefit really as I don't work in ideal ambient lighting conditions so the interface colour makes little difference in practice and I suspect that is true for many...

    the dark gray toolbar buttons are bigger, like bloody duplo bricks
    if you have masses of toolbars open you lose screen space
    it does make a difference i assure you, i've tested both with same screen layout
    or i may have missed something to make them smaller but i haven't found it

    sure Frank - I understand about the buttons; but I use keystrokes rather than floating toolbars; I don't think there is a way to make them smaller on the dark UI

    when I said the interface colour makes little difference [in relation to ambient lighting] what I meant was that a black interface is supposed to be less of an interference with colour perception when editing photographs and designing precise colour work, it's not just 'fashion'.... but for that to work effectively your workplace lighting has to be optimal

    I know how you feel, I forgot about this, but luckily I saw it here, I just purchased designer pro X (or for me Xtreme Pro X ;o) ) and wanted my light and fluffy UI back, and it is. ;o) (and a lot of video to watch, for my last upgrade was pro 5)
    be aware, not to become a ware.
