Customizing the Avid User Interface
The Interface Settings dialog box provides you with controls for customizing the brightness and
the colors of the Avid user interface. For complete reference information on the Interface
Settings dialog box, see “Interface Settings” on page 1358.
The Interface Settings dialog box allows you to set the highlight color for buttons. You can also
control the brightness of the user interface, which includes the following components:
• Application, tool, toolbar, and dialog box backgrounds
• Buttons and button contents
• Project background
The Avid editing application lets you modify the colors of some interface components using
controls not included in the Interface Settings dialog box:
• Bin media object color — see “Assigning Colors to Objects in a Bin” on page 314.
• Timeline clip color — see “Displaying Clip Colors in the Timeline” on page 632.
• Timeline background and track colors — see “Changing the Timeline Background or Track
Color” on page 636.
• Bin background color — see “Changing the Bin Background Color” on page 314.

interface components.

When you use the selection slider to modify interface settings, it overwrites any previous
user settings. Avid recommends you save a copy of your user settings before you use the
selection slider.
