Hi, I use the DARK GREY THEME (Moi 4.0 on PC) and would love to change the default curve colour from black to white.
How do I do this?
I've searched the forums and found a thread where Michael explains how to edit moi.ini
I have set changed LineUnselectedColor to 255,255,255 but that did not do anything after a restart. What did I forget?

Cornel - Try editing these settings in your .ini file:

CurveColorMode=FixedColor
CurveFixedColor=255,255,255

Hi Cornel, by default curve colors are controlled by their style assignments. You can change the default style colors by editing the style list how you want it and then saving a blank .3dm file with those styles and set that .3dm file as the startup template in Options > General.

Or you can do what Ed shows above which will change it so all curves are drawn in a specific color instead of by their style colors.

The LineUnselectedColor in moi.ini that you edited used to control curve color a long time ago before styles were added into MoI. It isn't used anymore for curve drawing now with styles in place but it will be used for a couple of other things like the base color for the faint dotted hidden lines display.

- Michael

Thanks Ed & Michael,

I kept it simple and set a fixed colour for the curves, as suggested by Ed.
Plain and simple, worked wonders on a dark background.

Cheers!
