        How did you get the SU toolbars to change?

            You have to change the style of your Operating System, it can't be done in Sketchup.

                Wenclav's post above explains how to do it.

                You are simply changing the settings in a windows theme.

                Right click on your screen and select personalize to get to the themes settings.

                You can create a specific SU theme that you can save and switch to when you want it.

                    I did that, but nothing I did changed the toolbars. What did I miss?

                      Bob, the toolbar buttons won't change with the themes because they are PNG files. They are like any other PNG file you might have on your computer and would be unaffected by the change to the background. If you want the buttons to match your chosen background color, you'll have to edit them.

                            I know, the thread is oldish but maybe someone will find my little research helpful. I found a theme based on Windows Aero which looks neat and it's quite dark. So dark that you may even find some icons hard to see. But anyways I prefer low contrast brought by this theme. A lot more comfort to the eyes. If you share my love for dark GUIs, check this out and follow their instructions:
