How can I get Fluent to have an all-white background? The only options seem to be the Workbench default blue-and-white gradient and the Classic all-black.

From R18.2 onwards, GUI preferences for Fluent can be customized by changing the Preferences.ccl (C:Program FilesANSYS Incv182fluentfluent18.2.0cortexresources) In this file, there are controls for the foreground color, background color 1 and background color 2. The foreground color should not be edited, as it controls both the text color for light background schemes, as well as the background color for the Classic scheme. (The Classic scheme represents an inversion of foreground color and background color 1.) The all-white background color can be achieved by matching the Background color 2 to Background color 1. The latter is already white, so matching the two colors allows Fluent to present the gradient background as all one color (white). The altered version of the Preferences.ccl file should match the text excerpt below: PARAMETER: GraphicsBackgroundStyle Parameter Type = String DisplayText = Graphics background style ToolTip = “Specify background color appearance” Allowed String List = Top Bottom Gradient, Left Right Gradient, Diagonal Gradient, Uniform Default = Uniform END PARAMETER: GraphicsForegroundColor Parameter Type = String DisplayText = Graphics foreground color ToolTip = “Specify graphics window text color” Parameter Category = color Default = #000000 END PARAMETER: GraphicsBackgroundColor1 Parameter Type = String DisplayText = Graphics background color 1 ToolTip = “Specify the primary background color” Parameter Category = color Default = #ffffff END PARAMETER: GraphicsBackgroundColor2 Parameter Type = String DisplayText = Graphics background color 2 ToolTip = “Specify the secondary color-gradient background styles only” Parameter Category = color Default = #ffffff END This will make it so the Workbench scheme is the all-white background and the Classic is still black.
