Hallo, Is possible change "dark" scheme of program for another? For example grey, or like Windows... Example in attatchment...

Black is problematic on glossy LCD.

At this time you cannot alter the program's color scheme. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
Tape capture using 6 VCR, TBC-1000, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.

And manual replace some files for own risk? Is possible?

I haven't seen any other requests for alternative colour schemes for the user interface but you could put it forward as a suggestion in THIS thread. For the time being you could look at the ambient lighting where your monitor is located to solve your problem.

Of course you can do that, to my knowledge as long as the naming and file type match, PROBABLY no issue. It may be a bit tedious though. Be careful, save the old versions! HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.

I agree. There needs to be a few options. Never liked the 'Adobe me too' look. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

Interestingly (or not) the background colour can be reset in both PhotoDirector & ColorDirector... not ADR or PDR. Guess there's a reason for that.

I'm not about to try to mess with the GUI colours... but, if I were, I'd start by digging into the zip file in C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector15\skin... but I'm not.
