Trial over, but why is free's GUI brighter?

I grew fond of the dark gray GUI of Unity Pro’s trial version. Why can’t I change the settings on the free version? I try to change the color preferences, but nothing happens.

Because it’s a Pro-only feature.

Then I’ll have to live with it. I can understand most restrictions, but this…it’s just silly.

Unity Tech had to license the dark grey from Crayola. You can’t have it for free!.

Licenced…a…color? Please elaborate.

That was a joke…

Here is an in-depth technique to hack the dark colour into to unity! I hope I don’t get banned for this mods!

  1. click this link > https://store.unity3d.com/shop/

  2. select unity pro.

  3. click proceed.

If done right you will have hacked unity pro and have the dark colour again! Of course unity will hack your bank account in return, but I think its a fair exchange!!

Cheaper option is to turn the brightness down on your monitor…way down!

Haha, nice one! made me chuckle.

If you’re on a Mac, you can totally hack a dark skin by pressing ctrl-option-command-8:

Of course, every color on the screen is inverted, but hey! It’s a dark skin, who cares! (Personally, I’m really glad they made it optional…)

Damn, such hax.
I think I’ll just stick to the color inverting (using the magnifying glass on windows) to get a dark skin at night; until I get Unity Pro.

2011 was a good year.
