Description
Themes were added in ExacqVision Client version 8.04, permitting the Desktop Client to be customized to an operator’s preference.
With the release of ExacqVision Client 19.03, new client installs defaulted to the Light theme in place of the Classic theme.
Problem
- Updating to ExacqVision Client 23.06 has changed my Client theme.
- I cannot change my Client theme / The theme selector is greyed out.
Explanation
With updates made to the underlying ExacqVision Client code, on Windows systems the Client now respects the color options selected for the operating system.
Windows 10/11
Under ‘Settings’ > ‘Personalization’ or right-clicking the Desktop and selecting ‘Personalize’, navigate to the ‘Colors’ menu.
From this menu, the top-most drop down, labeled ‘Choose your color,’ offers Light, Dark, or Custom options.
- If ‘Light’ is selected the Client will open with the Light theme chosen. Navigating to the ‘Client’ node on left-side configuration tree will allow the user to select from Light, Dark, or Classic themes for the ExacqVision Client. <br><br>
- If ‘Dark, is selected, the Client will open with the Dark theme automatically chosen. However, the theme selector on the Client Settings page will be “greyed out,” preventing user changes. <br>
