Hi all, 
How to chage background color in ansys mechanical 2024r2. I have tried in workbench, Tool -> option -> BackGround Color but it doesn't work

Hi,

Please restore defaults once. Then define the background colors 1 and 2. And at last refresh the project in the workbench.

Let me know if this is helpful.

Regards,

I followed the steps you mentioned sequentially, but it didn't work

Try to open the mechanical first and then try changing the color other than white. And then rechange to white. It was working fine in 2024R2.

Thanks,

Deepak

Hi,

One can change the background color by setting the Background Color and Background Color 2 properties to desired values under Workbench > Tools > Appearance options. 
But if the theme inside Ansys Mechanical is set to Dark; the background color settings are overridden. 
When you change the Color Theme, Mechanical automatically uses the background color of the selected theme (default behavior). 
To use the background colors specified in Mechanical, open Options> UI Options > set the Use Color Theme in Geometry Window preference to No.
