Viewport Solid View Dark

[Chic Aeon]

I thought I had all my settings the same but the solid view in the viewport in 2.78 seems way darker than it should be -- compared to 2.75 which I was using before. I most ofen use materials view but still would like to know what I need to change to get solid view lighter.

RENDER view is accurate as it was in 2.75.

 

Hints appreciated.

Hi Chic

Have you tried adjusting the colour options in Preferences ?

For 3D Viewport background colour see image below :



 Just to add : the latest Blender with lots of bug fixes is 2.78a

Thanks and I'll look at that but wouldn't that mess with the Materials view too? And it is fine. Probably just something odd in 2.78. And yes, I knew there was a new version out but "in general" I am doing OK and I so hate installing and setting up. I will face that soon though I guess as there seem to be a fair amount of odd and repeating issues that don't SEEM to be "me" .

 

Just being picky I guess.

 

Thanks for the thoughts!
