      I know that in InDesign CC you can change the interface color from the default new dark interface back to the classic lighter one. With no documents open, I edited this preference, but when I have to start up InDesign each day, it doesn’t save that preference. Everyone in my office prefers the lighter interface color, so is there a way to force InDesign to save this preference? Thanks!!

      That’s odd. Are you quitting properly? Remember that ID only saves its preferences when it successfully quits. So if you End Task/Force Quit, or if you crash, it won’t save it. Are other preferences being saved?

      I didn’t force quite/end task or crash. The few other preferences I changed appear to have saved. Others in my office are having the same issue too. So I volunteered to ask the experts to see if we can find a solution.

      Hm. Saves for me. Are you on Mac or Windows?

      We’re on Windows here.

      I found a way around it. Just put these two little jsx-file in the startup scripts folder (Adobe InDesign CC/Scripts/Startup scripts/):
      The first one:make en ASCII-file with this line in it:
      app.generalPreferences.uiBrightnessPreference=1.0; and save it as bright.jsx or any other name, but the extension has to be .jsx.
      You can change the 1.0 from 0.0 (dark UI) till 1.0 (light grey)
      the second ASCII-file with this line in it is for the pasteboard:
      app.generalPreferences.pasteboardColorPreference=0; and save is as pastb.jsx or any other name, but the extension has to be .jsx.
      0=white

      Now, the prefs will remain for the interface, even if you install and update, restart after a crash. Remember, the interface prefs get reset every time an update or a crash occurs.

      is the link for the solution above, but it’s in Dutch.
