Change background color of Hyperworks

Sid_22073

Hello,

In the Hyperworks version 2022.3, I would like to change the background color ( graphical area) similar legacy Hypermesh (pic below).

Where can I find this option ?

Looking forward for your help.

Kind regards,

Hello Sid,

In the New HyperMesh, you can go to the preferences and change the theme.

Or you can use this API in the .tcl console : 

hwf::setbackgroundcolor , it allows you to change the background color for all windows in the HyperWorks session

Hello

Thanks. 

Unfortunately there is no option for background colour change in preference-->common-->application-->theme

I do not know the exact hexadecimal value to enter in hwf::setbackgroundcolor #xxxxxx

How can I know this value of colour ( as shown by arrow in my pic).

Sorry I am new to tcl... !! could you please tell me where and how to add this in the .tcl

Thanks !!

Hello,

You need the hexadecimal color value, you can find it on internet for example : https://www.color-hex.com/
To open the .tcl command you should go to View > Tcl console, and copy paste hwf::setbackgroundcolor #fffefc to have right background for example.

Does it answer your request?

I think it is not possible to have this background. Why do you want to have this color? Did you try the existing theme in the New HyperMesh?

This is my personal preference as I have been using Hypermesh for long time. Now, getting used to the New  interface of Hyperworks.

In current Hyperworks (2022.3) Unfortunately, Themes does not change the background.

It will be nice to have the background colour as user choice

Thanks
