Themes

Rhinoceros > Preferences > Themes

Themes determine the layout of the Rhino window. Themes let you customize what the main modeling window looks like.

Themes also determine how commands and command options are displayed. Presets put the command entry field in the left sidebar.

Themes options

Default

Activates the ribbon bar. When the ribbon bar is active, you can no longer pick the Commands sidebar tool palette, because selecting different tabs in the ribbon bar also can change the sidebar palette contents.

Minimal

Custom
