3ds max Customizing viewport and grid colors , we'll look at that later. We can create and destroy tool bars. What we want to do is go to the colors tab and the top section here we have an element and the difficult element is viewports. Within that element we have a bunch of items. Scroll down within there and select viewport background. And the color of the viewport background is displayed here. But notice that this color does not match this color and that's because of gamma correction. The gamma is being corrected and that's actually shifting all the colors in the interface and so the color you choose here will not be the same as the one you see here. But you'll just have to get used to that until this whole custom user interface dialogue gets updated to actually respond to the gamma correction. We can go into this color swatch here and we can change the value. Let's make it brighter, I'll give it a value of 80 and click okay and if we want to see that take effect, we can click on apply colors now. And now we have a brighter viewport background but in order to really see the grid we're going to need to change the grid colors as well. So back in the colors tab, under elements. From the pull down list, go to grids. And we have set by color and set by intensity. We'll just leave it as set by intensity and set the intensity to a value of 80 and once again click apply colors now. Now we have a much easier grid.
