The only options seem to be the Workbench default blue-and-white gradient and the Classic all-black."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>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 = &#8220;Specify background color appearance&#8221;             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 = &#8220;Specify graphics window text color&#8221;             Parameter Category = color             Default = #000000         END         PARAMETER: GraphicsBackgroundColor1             Parameter Type = String             DisplayText = Graphics background color 1             ToolTip = &#8220;Specify the primary background color&#8221;             Parameter Category = color             Default = #ffffff         END         PARAMETER: GraphicsBackgroundColor2             Parameter Type = String             DisplayText = Graphics background color 2             ToolTip = &#8220;Specify the secondary color-gradient background styles only&#8221;             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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-171356","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-18-2","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-fluent-post-processing","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-post-processing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2\/6\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["3294"],"siebel_km_number":["2052313"],"product_version":["18.2"],"km_published_date":["2017-11-29T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["FLUENT"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/171356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/171356\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
