Adjusting the user interface brightness
Similar to Adobe After Effects
®
or Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator supports a brightness
adjustment for the application user interface. This is a program preference setting that allows
you to choose a brightness setting from four preset levels or to specify a custom value.
In this section, you will change the setting to see its effect and then you will change it back to
the program default.
1.
Choose Edit > Preferences > User Interface (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences >
User Interface (Mac OS).
2.
Choose Light from the Brightness menu of the User Interface options.
You can adjust the brightness of the user interface using set options in the Brightness
menu.
Note
On Mac OS, you won't see the Scroll Buttons option, and that's okay.
3.
Drag the Brightness slider to the left until you see a value of 50%.
You can drag the Brightness slider beneath the Brightness menu to the left or to the right
to adjust the overall brightness using a custom value.
