Hi everyone, I am very new to TVPaint and like all my friends and we never knew the big issue between Bahaus and TVPaint.
Anyway, I would like to use TV Paint instead of Mirage from now on and I am wondering if it is possible to replicate Mirage colour scheme on TV Paint.
In the preferences there s only 3 choices. Classic, Default and custom. I tried to fiddle around with the custom but gave up after half an hour.
Has anyone tried to do it or could we just download and install new colour schemes?

Mirage colour scheme
hi Olivier,
welcome to you, and happy new year!
regarding the color scheme, it's an old debat ...
some ones like it light, others rather dark, of course it's subject directly to the room where you are working,
in my case, I'm in a semi-obscurity ambiant (shadowy lighted room), so I'm naturally inclined to a dark UI.
if you are interrested, you can try my tvpa current (dark-grey) scheme, it's not the Mirage one, but it has near the same luminosity level,
how to try it :
first locate your config.ini file,
(on PC, it should be at C:/Documents and Settings/your_session_ID/Application Data/tvpaint animation/default/config.ini )
backup it somewhere else, then open it in a text editor, (f.i. WordPad)
scroll into the text till around the middle, the [SysColors] chapter, (46 lines),
cut it and replace it by the one below : then save your config.ini file (same place).
after that, you can try to launch tvpa, and see if it's fitting your desire.
if not, reverse the operation, by restauring your previous config file.
