Blender | Theme | Shadow Silver

Updates

Call me Goldilocks if you like, but I found the Blender Dark theme to be too bright whilst the Blender Pro theme was too dark and contrasting. So, I decided to create my own.

'Shadow Silver' is a blender theme that's been built to reduce eye-strain whilst simultaneously providing an eye-pleasing and functional interface. Featuring a pleasant combination of greys and neutral blues that allow the user to easily differentiate between each element of blender’s interface without being distracted by it.

To reduce any confusion, all of the functional colours (selection, groups, etc) have been slightly modified but are relatively the same as the blender default.

So if you like what you see, please feel free to download it and give it a try!

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE 1* *My interface features screenshots of addons I have enabled in Blender, therefore, in some circumstances your interface may differ from mine.

NOTE 2** I am also using the "Ubuntu R" font. It's completely free from Google and can be found here:

INSTRUCTIONS (CHANGE FONT)

1- Download the Ubuntu font family and place it in a safe folder that you won’t delete (ie blender’s directory)

2- Start blender, and navigate the User Preferences (Edit > Preferences)

3- Open the category “Text Rendering” and select the following options:

• Enable anti-aliasing

• Choose Hinting (Slight)

•For your interface font, navigate to the folder you’ve stored the Ubuntu font family in and select the ‘Ubuntu-R.tff’

4- And that’s it!
