    Anyone know how to hack to interface background gray color to a darker gray. Like on AE.
    I know FCP doesn’t have this in the app, so don’t respond with it’s not supported. I am looking for the
    under the hood plist change or something.

    Thanks

    I’m not ware of any hacks for this, but I’d be quite interested in it as well. I can’t stand FCP’s bright interface. Ideally, I would love to see the color scheme of FCP’s GUI resemble that of Smoke or Combustion. I’m a firm believer that the interface should disappear and not distract from the task at hand.

    Nope .. no hacks for this. Last time I looked the interface was built up of multiple individual parts, each with the color dictated individually by that part … no single global value which controls the color throughout the interface (if there were, then I expect Apple would already have offered this option).

    I couldn’t agree more! This would be a very welcome feature!

    I have just submitted some feedback to Apple, and I hope each of you might consider doing the same:
